The 50 best spots for nachos in Sydney

Absolutely amazing experience at Bad Hombres! The chips and guacamole were fresh and flavorful, the charred corn had a delicious smoky taste, but the true standouts were the mushroom birria and the quesadilla, you cannot visit without trying them. The seasoning is spot on, and the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. The staff truly go above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience possible. Highly recommend!

Wow!! What amazing food. All vegan, all gluten free - but no compromise on flavour. It was fantastic as I am celiac, and no worries at all about cross contamination. The crème brûlée was delicious, as well as the cauliflower tacos 🌮 10/10, will definitely be back.

We didn’t know it’s vegan restaurant before we got there! But the food were still tasty! Nachos were good! The best taco were eggplant one! That was the best flavor!! The others were okay! The atmosphere in the store was good, very chill and not too busy on Tuesday taco night :) The last order was 8:30pm and the store closed around 9:30pm

My favourite Mexican place in Sydney. It's vegan, but full of flavour. Their tortilla chips and tacos are all freshly made in-house. Everything is full of flavour. This time, I got to enjoy the 'tuna' tostada, mushroom taco, bowl of nachos and their quesadilla. All very tasty, even my meat loving friends don't miss the meat. Service here is very efficient, professional and not intrusive. Will definitely be back again.

I thoroughly enjoyed the food at Bad Hombres even as a non-vegetarian, and didn't miss the meat thanks to the terrific flavours and textures. Everything we had was good but special mention goes to the mushroom birria for the memorable textures of the fried mushrooms and deeply flavoured broth. Service was quick and the rustic, cosy vibes were great for a catch up with friends.

We had high hopes for Bad Hombres, unfortunately it just didn’t live up to them completely. The tacos were fine, but nothing special. The main we had which was the cauliflower was nice and filling and the dessert was the redeemer as it was delicious and didn’t scream corn. I would give this place another try and eat other dishes, but so far I wouldn’t recommend it. Also, staff were not brilliant, young hipster types so not terribly helpful but did their job.

Amazing meal full of surprises. The dishes here are just so delicious. The way of cooking, flavours and textures of vegan food are very well done. The restaurant also have great atmosphere. Would be nice if the dishes can be of slightly larger portion.

Grabbed a quick lunch here on a Sunday noon. Service was very friendly and quick despite the place being busy. I ordered takeaway but atmosphere seemed very authentic and cool. I ordered the fish tacos, guacamole (with nachos) and the chicken burrito. Everything we ordered was really good! Especially the chicken in the burrito which was cooked and spiced perfectly and the fish tacos which where very juicy. Pricing was also fair, $6 for a quality fish taco is a great deal!

Really great food and wonderful service. We dropped by here starving and left well filled and very satisfied with the taste and experience. The vibe of the restaurant was great, and the waiter who served us was very friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the chips in the carne asada fries were very hard and tiny, GyG nacho fries are more my preference in that regard. The drinks and burritos were amazing, and the complimentary sauces complimented the food perfectly.

Had such a great night at Chica Bonita in Manly! The service from Margo and April was super friendly and attentive from start to finish. The portions were just right and perfect for sharing – the Wagyu and corn dishes were standouts, absolutely delicious. Finished the evening with a cheeky tequila from their impressive range, the perfect way to wrap things up. Thanks team, we’ll definitely be back!

Stumbled in here on a Thursday night and was pleasantly surprised! Quickly greeted by staff and sat down and provided with great service. Was offered an extensive happy hour menu until close (unheard of in manly) with margeritas and food. The coconut margarita was great and such value for money. Also had the best quac chips for only $10. Then tried a fish taco, one of the best tacos me and my partner have ever had. Atmosphere was great, lively but not overwhelming. Definitely will be back.

Amazing service- Connor was the best. Made sure everything we needed was sorted. Dined for birthday celebrations with family. Kids saying best quesadilla ever! Always great food and margaritas.

Tucked away little gem. The service is fantastic and made for a great dinner out. Archie was attentive and while it may seem trivial, the attention to details matters. Good food, accompanied by a mad selection of yatch rock tunes. Worth a visit.

Our favourite restaurant in Manly and consistently serves delicious food. The birria beef and mushroom tacos; and tostada with beans and nopales (fried cactus) are outstanding but I enjoy everything on the menu. The service is always attentive and on point.

Loved, loved the food! Can safely say it’s one of the best Mexican food I’ve had in Australia. The flavours and spices were strong and just hit the spot. The fact that they have multiple vegetarian fillings was just cheery on top. Their special Mexican Hot Chocolate, with a hint of chilli, was surprisingly fabulous. Enjoyed everything and highly recommended. This is now going to be our Go To Mexican restaurant from now on :) Staff are very friendly, polite and great with recommendations. We had all our ordered dishes on the table in less than 15 mins on Friday evening, which was totally unexpected. Lesson learnt: Order one dish at a time as they are really quick in serving and everything is so fresh!

We really enjoyed the food. The food was delicious sizzling fresh on the plates and well-presented. The staff were not too bad but could be a little more hospitable. The seating was very tight couldn't move around comfortably. The cocktails were good. Will go there again.

Had tacos and burrito that were all good. The prawn and pork tacos were yummy, staff were friendly, and the drinks are good. It’s a bit tight seating when it gets busy.

Fun Mexican restaurant in Glebe. Atmosphere is understated but trendy and stylish, I really like the locked liquor cabinet and chilli sauce wall. The food tastes like authentic Mexican, with plenty of vegan options. While perhaps not exactly perfect, I still found it enjoyable. Service has always been friendly whenever I have visited. I’d consider it best suited for casual, relaxed dining (not a fine dining or fussy experience) but with this in mind, still suitable for a date or for group dining with family and friends.

Came here on a promotion. The bad... it's winter, upstairs is cold, be prepared to wear your outdoor clothes inside. They seem to be short staffed on wait staff. Only one waitress to service 50 people. Should really be two. The good, the food. It's tastey. Good portion sizes. Not sure I'd come and pay full price, but at 50% off on the food definitely worth a visit.

Such a busy, buzzy, lively place filled with people, delicious smells & a wall of spicy sauces! Love all the food here - super tasty & filling. Havent had many chimichangas but this one is delicious! Love the crispy outside & generous filling. Fajitas are always delicious & tasty and I love the DIY part of the meal. The enchiladas are generous & rich, filled to the brim with your choice. The beef brisket was so tender and tasty but a bit too salty for my liking. Love all the dips and house made corn chips. Great for groups or any time and lovely cocktails & sangria. Best to book to avoid disappointment.

Believe bad reviews....unlike how I ignored. Skip this place if possible. Only the drinks and quessedillas turned out to be good. The lamb meatball was very hard but flavourful and the chicken chimichanga had smelly chicken and had to be sent back. The worn out cutlery to cut through the hard meat ball was a joke and even after exchanging it was the same. As others mentioned the waitress gave a look of contempt.

Restaurant that is losing its charm in my option. We went there for taco Tuesday and the tacos were nothing special. We tried all the tacos on the menu but nothing seemed to stand out. Drinks over priced and ambience lacking. Hope they improve

We ordered the fish tacos and the birria. It was unfortunately not worth the price at all, for both the quality and the portion. The recipe has changed - the fish was not particularly crispy, and didn’t taste very fresh. The birria was way too salty for me - it was juicy, but the corn tortilla was also lacking in crispness. We originally planned to order more, but it was so disappointing that we left. The flavours were very average. The atmosphere was nice and charming, but we were the only table at 6pm on a Friday evening.

A big 5 stars for the bottomless brunch they serve up here.. Came on a Saturday lunch and the service was on point. Drinks were flowing, plenty of food served up and the atmosphere is nice. They even cater to different dietary needs, like vegetarian or pescatarian. Tastefully decorated and not overly busy. Well worth the money paid for the bottomless.

Quite an average experience here – the Birria taco was tasty, but the other options were quite average in flavour and texture. The nachos were okay, but nothing exceptional. Good variety of food options, however, too pricey for what it is.

Wow! My partner booked this place for our anniversary and it was the best option he could’ve picked! Food: The food was better than I could’ve imagined, so flavourful and such a variety of dishes. We ordered BBQ corn, Tuna Sashimi Tostada as Entree and not only were they very quick to come out, but fresh and tasty! We also ordered the quesadillas *chefs kiss* and tried the Pulpo (Octopus + Spiced potatoes). Our only critique was the octopus was a bit spicy, but no biggie- the dish could definitely do with some sort of sour cream or aioli to balance the flavours 🤌 We would 100% recommend the Mango-colada drink if you are looking for something refreshing and easy to drink. Tastes EXACTLY like a yummy Boost juice but with alcohol ;) Service: The service was top notch! Shout out to our waiter Sebastian! Made our night unforgettable and took care of us and was very hospitable. He ensured we were happy with everything and was lovely to chat to :-) Atmosphere: We had a booking at 6:30 on a Friday night. It was quiet as it’s only the beginning of the night, but we preferred this as we could easily have a chat and enjoy the music! I would definitely think the vibe later on in the night would be excellent! Overall 10/10 experience~ Chulas even went the extra mile to bring out a special celebratory dessert to celebrate us and our milestone. Will be back very soon!

Amazing dining experience, I had never tried any good Mexican in Sydney and was struggling to find a place that did authentic Mexican. Enter Chula, after hearing from an online food blog that there was a new head chef who actually is from Mexico, I decided to give the cusine at Chula a shot. Was very impressed, the cevice was like a party in your mouth and was full of flavour, with the balanced texture of the fish being a pleasure to have. Afterwards we tried the Cameron a la dibala and barboca lamb, the lamb in particular paired with the potato puree and seasonal pickles was spectacular, with the sweet and meaty flavours combined being one of my favourite dishes I have tried of the year. The lamb is one of the chefs Specialty dishes and after we were served, he even came out personally to ask us how the meal was, if we liked the main meals and if they was any feedback he could take. My time at Chula from the food and chef team was spectacular, to feel like you are walking into a food experience being treated like a diner that is cared about and dishes served to your palate preferences. I would highly recommend anyone go to Chula with the new management and kitchen team who serve up an authentic Mexican experience.

Our experience at Chula was truly exceptional. The food was absolutely spectacular, especially considering they were short-staffed that evening. Despite the busy service, the team went above and beyond to ensure we were happy, comfortable, and well-fed. The patatas bravas, haloumi taco, and chicken quesadilla were all standout dishes—I can’t recommend them highly enough. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, with a sleek, modern design that created the perfect atmosphere for our small group of friends. They even made my birthday extra special by bringing a sparkler to the table—a wonderfully thoughtful gesture that added a personal touch to the evening. On top of that, Chula is incredibly group-friendly, making it easy to split the bill and ensuring everyone feels taken care of. Overall, it was a thoroughly positive experience, and I truly feel this restaurant deserves much more attention. For anyone seeking an authentic Mexican feast, Chula is a must-visit. They also handle allergies with care, catering beautifully to peanut, nut, and gluten-free diets, which makes dining here both safe and stress-free. A genuinely memorable night from start to finish.

The food was really delicious, the price matched up to the portion serve. The atmosphere was really calm, especially for a Saturday night. The staff were so friendly and attentive and helped with the menu. The drinks selections were really good, can seem limited on the non alcoholic options but they were good enough. The washroom was clean. Great food, great vibe, you can either go alone, with friends or even family as there quite a lot of space.

Great Mexican place with fun dishes and a very chilled setting. Really enjoyed the creative take on some dishes including the jalapeno poppers. Staff super friendly and easy to deal with. I do find the use of QR codes frustrating sometimes and prefer to just talk to someone about options. It was great that we could do this - especially after we ordered three jugs of margaritas rather than three glasses!

Been here a couple of times. Jugs of cocktail options are great. Atmosphere perfect. And food good. Cheese burger tacos and the fish one perfect. Great social spot and dance later

Checked out this Mexican place last weekend and really enjoyed it! The food was tasty, and the cocktails were surprisingly good—especially considering I don’t usually drink tequila. I ordered two tequila based cocktails, and both were great. One of them was the Purple Hearts, and I absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was nice and relaxed, I’d definitely come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for good food and drinks.

Barrio Cellar is a hidden gem in the heart of Sydney, offering a vibrant and energetic atmosphere that instantly puts you in a good mood. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made us feel right at home, always checking in without being intrusive, a perfect balance that enhanced our overall experience. Now let’s talk about the food, absolutely delicious! The quesadillas were perfectly grilled, with just the right amount of gooey cheese and flavorful fillings. The tacos were another standout, fresh, well-seasoned, and full of bold, authentic Mexican flavours. You could tell the ingredients were fresh and carefully prepared. Every bite was satisfying, and it’s clear the kitchen takes pride in its craft. But the real stars of the night were the cocktails. Barrio Cellar’s bar team knows what they’re doing. Each cocktail we ordered was beautifully presented and packed a punch without being overpowering. Whether you’re into classic margaritas or something more adventurous, they’ve got you covered. Overall, Barrio Cellar delivered on every level, great food, amazing cocktails, and top-notch service in a lively, underground setting. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to with friends, and we definitely will. Highly recommend it for a fun night out!

Fantastic place for Mexican food and the best drinks! I’ve spent many Thursday night here with work friends for the Thursday special! Lots of fun and the staff are fantastic and very good looking! Xxx

Really tasty Mexican food in Sydney city, close to station and everything. Nice vibe, staff and decor

Celebrated my birthday last night with the amazing team! the waiters were so so amazing and warming. We went for 105$ pp set menu while we liked a lot of dishes but some were misses for us unfortunately. The elements they put in burrata was way too salty and the most important element dessert was a major miss. I couldn’t resonate with the sour jelly and roasted coconut. But yes definitely a good experience overall and will go again for the hospitality.

Amazing hidden gem in the CBD. If you're craving steak, tacos or just a good feed this is a place that will satisfy all. Highly recommend getting the market steak with the garlic butter and twice cooked pork which are absolutely sensational. The service is good and food to match. Only downside is the music is a bit loud at times.

Taco, yes, beyond taco, a definite go-to! We ordered a variety of dishes and I truly enjoyed everything, but the coffee pumpkin, slow-cooked pork belly, and dry-aged steak with black garlic butter stood out as absolute favourites. The service was extremely warm, with the team showing impressive knowledge of both the dishes and the drinks. Overall, highly recommend! Food & Value: Excellent quality, creative flavours, and well worth it.

We had the pre-theatre meal - The service was warm and attentive throughout, which made for a pleasant dining experience. Unfortunately, the salmon entrée was a letdown—it didn’t appear to be made with fresh salmon and had a noticeably fishy taste. The pork belly tacos also missed the mark, with flavours that felt muted and underwhelming. Overall, a fair 3 out of 5. The hospitality was commendable, but the food quality didn’t quite justify a higher rating.

Our server that night was incredibly helpful and eloquent. It was our first time dining there, so we weren’t entirely sure what to order, and one of us had a strict dietary restriction. We were very happy and comfortable enjoying our meal after your server assured us that everything was made gluten-free. The salmon tartare taco was absolutely amazing and refreshing—it was my favorite! I didn’t catch his name, but he looked like one of the restaurant managers who served us. I’d be glad to come back and recommend the place to my friends. 6:00 PM, 27 October 2025

Such a cute little restaurant. We chose to sit at the bar tonight for my partner's birthday and it made our dinner more enjoyable by being able to watch all the talented chefs in there working so well together Our waitress was so lovely and took the time to explain the drinks to us. Every dish was a hit and we will definitely be back again.

Came here while visiting Sydney. We booked a few days in advance, but as I know the place gets extremely busy, we ended up sitting at the bar. It was okay, but the seating felt a bit cramped, and you couldn’t help but feel like someone was watching you eat. Overall, the staff were friendly and super helpful. Being gluten-free, I tried a variety of items on the menu. We had one of each taco, the calamari, and a few cocktails, everything was delicious! I’d highly recommend coming back, but definitely try to book in advance to get a better seat. One downside is that it’s very dark inside, so if you have trouble reading menus, bring glasses and a small light, otherwise, you’ll be guessing.

Extremely authentic Mexican food! Wow — it felt like being in Mexico with extremely delicious salsas + beautifully cooked steak. I love to order the TLACOYO DIVORCIADO + STEAK. There is a bean-filled + stuffed tortilla at the base with a layer of eggs and steak. It is to DIE FOR! The staff here are super happy and willing to make you feel comfortable which is what I love about a dining experience like this. Domi, the manager is always super friendly and the bartender, he is so awesome!! Their menu is different on the weekends vs the nights. Come during both times to get two different experiences!!!! Thank you!!!!

I visited this restaurant yesterday and it was such a unique experience for my palate. I tried Mexican dishes I had never tasted before, and each one was a delicious surprise. The cocktails were also amazing. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere cozy. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for something authentic.

My photos don’t do the food justice, it was hands down one of the best food experiences I’ve ever had. It was great to explore traditional Mexican food and I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but flavours were heavenly. We ordered: 2 x prawn and scallop tostadas - they’re quite a generous size as a starter for each person. 1 x totopos to share - great if you like guacamole plus a nice kick of grilled onions 1 x volcan de pulpo with octopus - this was also perfect to share. The octopus was incredibly tender, but the small unassuming cup of consome was the star - slightly spicy yet refreshing with every little sip. As a non-drinker, I also loved the Horchata drink - I could down a litre of that easily and still want more. Great vibes for a Saturday night. Wonderful service, everyone was super lovely and took the time to give us recos. Really can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu.

Unforgettable food — every dish bursts with flavor; dining here is truly an experience. The place is cozy, and the staff are very friendly. I want to come back with all my friends to show them what I’ve discovered: the best restaurant in Sydney so far.

Super lovely staff and amazing Mexican food - flavourful, filling and all Gluten Free! They are vegetarian options as well, and a wide range of small dishes to share. We absolutely loved it! Reservations strongly recommended.

We had a really solid dinner here. Started off with the corn soup which was very flavoursome, the prawn taco, pork al pastor taco, the cactus ceviche before finishing with the beef cheek main. Standouts were the corn soup which was really comforting on a cold winter's night and the cactus ceviche which was punchy and perfectly complemented with the crunch of the accompanying corn tostadas. Service was fantastic - attentive and warm. The beef cheek main was missing some acidity for a zing and I felt there could have been better value for the tacos given the price of each so have deducted a star but we enjoyed our dinner nonetheless!

Booked myself in for tostada Tuesday and was not disappointed. The toastadas were so good a little hard to eat but had great flavour. The guacamole and chips were a banger too. The machete was decent I did find it a bit hard to cut through but found the beef filling to be very delicious. Parking difficult as always in Newtown. Highly recommend booking as it's always packed. It was actually. My 2nd time returning here as first time I came without a booking and got rejected.

We booked Mojico through First Table and were excited to try something new, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. When we arrived, we were left standing at the door for about 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Even then, the staff seemed confused about where to seat us outside. Service throughout the night was poor—waiters avoided eye contact, seemed distracted, and it took three separate trips just to clear and wipe down one table before we could sit. The food was a mixed bag. The corn ribs and guacamole and fish tacos were enjoyable, but the vegetarian taco lacked flavour (mostly carrots, not very balanced). The fish was okay, and the potatoes were decent. The biggest issue was the wait for our steak took around 40 minutes to arrive, and we had to chase it up. By the time it finally came, it was close to 10pm, which really dampened the experience. Atmosphere-wise, it just felt awkward and unwelcoming, which didn’t help the overall impression. In short, the food had some highlights, but the slow service and lack of attentiveness made the evening underwhelming. Not sure I’d return.

Erin and Tom at Majico were the perfect duo of hospitality — warm smiles and quick service! Both were incredibly sweet and gentle. The food was amazing, especially the vegetarian taco, though it could use a little tweak — maybe replace the carrot with something else. Overall, the food and atmosphere were fantastic, making it a wonderful experience!

An amazing spot, hands down! The atmosphere is great and perfect spot for dinner. The food was delicious. We had the octopus skewers and ceviche which were fresh and tasty. But hands down the best dish was the market fish tacos — hands down amazing. So good we ordered it two more times. A must try if you go!

I had the Classic set menu at Mejico and was genuinely impressed by the food. Every dish was absolutely delicious. Fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavour. The set menu offered a great variety, giving a well-rounded taste of Mejico’s signature dishes. Each plate was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. From the starters to the mains and sides, everything was a solid 10/10. The drink included in the menu was also a highlight. Refreshing and well balanced. The atmosphere was lively and the decor had a stylish, modern feel that added to the overall experience. For the quality and amount of food, the set menu was excellent value for money. Definitely a place I’d return to, and I highly recommend the Classic Feed if you want to sample a bit of everything.

Loved Mejico! Fantastic food, excellent margaritas, great service and such a fun atmosphere, what more could you ask for? Standout faves were the seared tuna, beef empanadas, pulled pork tacos, and the frozen classic margaritas.

We had a great time at Méjico the food choices we made were solid overall! Everything was simple but super tasty. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the carrot tacos (just a personal preference), but everything else hit the spot. Definitely worth a visit if you’re after good flavours and a laid-back vibe.

It was an interesting experience starting from disappointment but ended on high notes. Kingfish ceviche was neither generous nor punchy. Guacamole though prepared on spot lacked seasoning but fried plantains were good. The item that hit out of park were the Empanadas. Well seasoned filling in perfect pastry with chimichuri blew our brains! The stuffed jalapenos were good too, epecially the thin crispy tempura coating. Finally the rump steak was perfect! I wasnt impressed with watermelon cucumber, the dukha was not sufficient to bring them together and some watermelon pieces were a bit off. Overall, if you visit make sure you order the Empanadas! Service was a bit slow in refilling water, but good otherwise.

Me and my boyfriend had a fantastic evening at this restaurant and would highly recommend it. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a great ambiance that made us feel instantly comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious – the Grilled Scallops and Octopus Zarandeado were particular highlights, perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The cocktails were just as impressive, especially the Margaritas – some of the best we’ve had in a long time. A special shout-out to our waitress , Ella, who was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Her friendly and professional service truly made our night even more enjoyable. Can’t wait to come back!

The tacos were delicious, and the grilled shrimp was fresh and flavorful. The braised beef was so tender, and it paired perfectly with a glass of wine. The restaurant has a cozy and elegant atmosphere. It's located right at Circular Quay, with a nice view of the trains passing by. Definitely worth a try.

Bar Patrón at Circular Quay is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with stunning views of Sydney Harbour and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. The menu is a celebration of authentic Mexican flavours, elevated with fresh, local ingredients. The tacos are a must-try—perfectly balanced and bursting with flavour. And let's not forget the margaritas—crafted to perfection with premium Patrón Tequila. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just craving exceptional Mexican cuisine, Bar Patrón is the place to be. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of dining at Bar El Patrón, and it was nothing short of extraordinary! with the impeccable service provided by Ela and Annabelle enhancing my experience. We started our culinary journey with the Ceviche Patrón, which was incredibly fresh and bursting with flavors—definitely a standout appetizer. Next up was the Chicken Tinga Tostada, 5 stars, a delightful combination of tender shredded chicken and crispy tostada that left me wanting more. The Tacos Al Pastor were simply divine, showcasing perfectly Pork Barbacoa, while the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos delivered melt-in-your-mouth goodness, offering a rich, savory experience that was unforgettable. Next, the Tuna Tostada, recommended by Vinni, which was light yet satisfying, beautifully topped with a zesty sauce. For the main course, ordered the Grilled Pork Belly with Mole Verde. This dish was an absolute revelation—the pork belly was succulent, and the mole verde complemented it perfectly, creating a symphony of flavors. To cap off this incredible dinner, I indulged in the finest Cajeta Flan, which was creamy, rich, and decadently sweet—an absolute must-try! Lastly, Vinni recommended the Gran Patrón Piedra Tequila, and it was the perfect ending to a fabulous night, with its smooth and rich taste elevating my dining experience to another level. Bar El Patrón exceeded all expectations with their exceptional service, expertly crafted dishes. Thank you, Ela, Annabelle, Vinni and the rest of the Team and, of course, the great Chef Azhaan, México should love you, for making the evening so memorable!

This place is a hidden gem with outstanding views, drinks, food, and service. Follow the advice of Vini, he is passionate about his profession, knows his tequila, and food (thank you Vini!). We had Tommy Margaritas (with salt), scallops, tuna tostadas, and the toothfish. Go there, sit at the bar, order the above. Heaven!

Food: I had the lamb Barbacoa tacos, the Mexican bean salad, and the tuna tostada. The tuna tostada was out of this world and I could've just had two more plates of that for dinner. The tacos and the bean salad were OK, but nothing I would return for. Service: the staff is so friendly, easy to talk to, and just made the whole experience super enjoyable. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were so kind and I really enjoyed my time there. Sometimes when you go in as a single person you feel a little awkward, but the staff made me feel very comfortable. Atmosphere: It's a little hectic and loud in this restaurant and it doesn't have a true vibe if you ask me, but it was just fine and I didn't mind it.

Rachel was our amazing server! She never left us with an empty plate or glass. She was so quick with her service and made it a day to remember! The whole team were so friendly. Food, drinks, atmosphere were all amazing! Would definitely recommend. And they had amazing vegetarian options too which was great!

Best Mexican I have had in a long time and that's compared to some restaurants in Los Angeles and Sydney. It's not your typical Mexican food it's modern Mexican ... much healthier and not the usual rice and bean dishes that taste all the same... the food here is superb quality every single dish issue we had was Amazing... the steaks , octopus , corn, deserts ! Friendly Service, great music, and good atmosphere

We had an amazing experience! The tacos and guacamole were absolutely delicious, and the margaritas were perfect. The service was top-notch — the manager went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. Definitely one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a while. Highly recommend

The Good: Simply delicious! Visited for a birthday dinner on the recommendation of a friend and it was an absolute standout. The highlights were many — the guacamole with pomegranate and lentil papadum was fresh and full of texture, the kingfish ceviche was vibrant, and both the barramundi and chicken tacos were flavour-packed and perfectly cooked. The venue itself is chic and candlelit, with a warm Mexican-Caribbean vibe that adds to the whole experience. Cocktails were beautifully crafted, and the service was attentive and polished throughout. Room for Improvement: None on this visit — it all hit the mark. Would I Return? Without a doubt. Already planning the next visit. The Verdict: Carbon Mexican delivers on flavour, style, and service. A beautiful dining experience that’s equal parts relaxed and refined — a must for lovers of modern Mexican cuisine.

Having dinner at Carbon was such an amazing experience! 🌟 The food was absolutely wonderful, you must try the chicken, oh my god, chef’s kiss 👌. The chimichurri tasted like it came straight from heaven. I also had one octopus taco, and it was a solid 10/10. The drinks were lovely, and the vibe of the place is very cool. Definitely give it a try if you get the chance!

Tried margarita which was really nice. Mexican fries was good too. We also tried sweet potato and chicken tacos , the chicken one was personally better. The restaurant has nice vibe though. Cool staffs!!!

Service was absolutely impeccable. We tried the kingfish ceviche, beef and fish tacos, steak and salad and everything was 11/10. Incredible ambience.

Excellent service and such a pleasant, cozy atmosphere — perfect for chatting and sharing delicious dishes. The birria tacos were amazing, and the tres leches cake with that special touch of lychees was simply outstanding. Can’t wait to come back! 🌮🍰✨

Came for the tacos — they’re close to authentic and taste fine, but I found them a bit overpriced for what you get. Overall, not the best value. The venue is nice though, with a cozy patio and an upper level with pool tables.

If it looks like a taco joint, and it smells like a taco joint, then in all likely good it really should be a taco joint. I want to say something and that is that Ricos does not disappoint! Be sure to try out the taco special of the day and if you drink alcohol, they have some amazing cocktails, spicy, and delicious.

It's not a bad place, has a nice vibe, but the food was shocking. The tacos were not good at all. Apparently, they have new owners, and the good food items have been taken off the menu. Was really looking forward to this place but was disappointed.

I was very disappointed with the food even though I love Mexican food. Nice courtyard at the back but all the tables were booked and upstairs was empty but booked for a function. Quesadilla was unlike any I have ever had and not in a good way at all. Taco was a lot of meat but hardly any flavour. Might be better if they were just a bar with snacks or really focused on being a proper restaurant because at the moment - they are bad at both. The three of us tonight all hated the food and they served me a veg one instead of pork and it tasted like cardboard. Overhyped, overpriced.

If you advertise a 250g sirloin and charge $38, at least season the steak and make sure the original weight is 250g. While the steak was cooked well, it was super chewy, had a lot of gristle, and what happened to seasoning? The "home made corn chips with avocado salsa", in theory sounded great. Execution, poor. Chips, stale. Avocado salsa, where's the love for the salsa?

Great food, drinks (solid wine list), and atmosphere. Such a refreshing change for a Sydney pub. Love that you can order from Rico’s Tacos menu or their pub fare. It will become our new go-to.

Super homey and cozy looking taco joint in the streets of Darlinghurst near white rabbit gallery. We got 3/4 of the tacos and they were all delicious - cauliflower was my personal favourite, it was so juicy. The chorizo and potato ones were also very flavourful and the fish was yummy too. However, the enchiladas and hash browns weren’t amazing but dipped in the salsa increased their flavour.

Great cheap Mexican food in the centre of Surry Hills! One of the first places I checked out after landing in Sydney and still one my faves. Food is pub style text mex, so are drinks! I strongly suggest the frozen margarita and the sangria. Good selection of vegetarian options too. The service is quick and super kind. The atmosphere is very Mexican and colourful.

Great place if you are lost on Sophia Street and want to eat late. Nice barman and waitress, good quesabirria, even the doorman is nice. There's a DJ on site, and you can watch the game on TV AND sit on a chair (I'm looking at you, Cock'n Bull in Cairns) while drinking one of the many beers or cocktails they serve. I have no idea if the rooms are nice, but it's comforting to know there's a hotel where you can spend the night if the owner of the Beautiful Sunny Studio you reserved cannot be reached.

If you're ever paying a visit, be sure to chat with Luhos (Slovak manager) - he's one dry fella with humour while keeping that straight face. Props to him and the crew for booking us virtually half the area with clear signage while leaving the furniture intact which impressively provides heaps of standing space. Tacos were filling and the room has different light shades to transition from daytime to early evening for live music.

It is just too expensive, we got margarita jugs, and came filled with ice and half full. For $66 you can fill up to 3 small glasses (not even cocktail glasses). Food is fine, but also in the pricy side.

Nice bar/restaraunt. Food is as usual Mexican you can get. Good drawcard that it’s walking distance to central station. Gets a little loud in the back but otherwise good standard bar/food combo.

Had an amazing lunch at El Loco at Excelsior with my colleagues today! The atmosphere was lively, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. A special shoutout to Smarat, who was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. His great energy added to the overall experience! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for flavorful food, a fun vibe, and excellent service. Can’t wait to come back! 🌮✨

It was my first time visiting this venue, and I had a wonderful experience with my family and friends. Although we had a small issue with one of the bartenders, which I felt was a bit unfair, Tamara handled the situation exceptionally well. Her customer service and positive attitude truly stood out—she was fantastic. Highly recommend this place!

Authentic Mexican food made by experienced owners with 15+ years. The decor is vibrant and the drinks are on point! We tried the Taco, Nachos, chicken wings, and salad – everything was fresh and full of flavour. Highly recommend if you’re craving real Mexican food.

This place serves yummy Mexican food. Best thing for us they cater to our Vegetarian dietary needs. Staff was aware of vegetarian being no egg option to cater to our exact need. Super friendly staff, Yummy food, Good portion size- it definitely is a must visit again😀

The nachos here are a must-try—loaded with fresh toppings that contains tomato, beef, avocado. Sour cream and just the right amount of crunch. The Chicken Suiza was amazing. It's full of cheese and the chicken is tender, flavorful, and smothered in delicious sweet and sour ands creamy sauce. And don’t miss the El Benito drink which is so refreshing with a perfect balance of raspberry sweetness! Great food, vibrant atmosphere, and bold flavors. Will definitely be back!

I feel like Mexican food here is actually quite healthy—I especially love the black beans and jalapeños. I had checked out the nearby café before, and this place caught my eye with its unique decor. They have a taco lunch deal, so I tried one of each flavor—really tasty! Next time, I’ll go for a different burrito to compare.

Authentic Mexican food by owners with 15 years’ experience. Nice decor, good drinks. Tried Quesadilla, Fajitas, wings, burrito—all tasty. Deals: $33 unlimited tacos (Tuesdays), $5 tacos (lunch Mon-Fri). Recommend!

Great vibe and tasty food! The chicken nachos were loaded and delicious, and the cocktail were spot on. Colourful decor and friendly service — feels like a little slice of Mexico in Glebe.

Was there on 19.07.25. Very fast and attentive staff! Good service. Food was delicious, spice levels on par to Australian cuisine (don’t expect Indian spice levels, but the sauces available on table can add up to the heat) Overall excellent experience.

Visited with work mates on a Friday night. We had a booking and got seated in the downstairs area. Ordered a range of their happy hour snacks as well as some of the other items on the menu. Generous serving size and great drink options. My favourite was the cauliflower!

Nice Mexican restaurant on Sussex street in Sydney. Right next to hyatt regency darling harbour hotel. Nice bright and colourful decor. Big nacho helping but not necessarily the best in taste. Advertised all margaritas at $16-18 for Mon-Fri but did not give the discount, claiming the discount doesn’t apply to frozen margaritas but didn’t inform so when I was ordering.

I visited again after some time and noticed the menu and flavours have changed. The chicken wings had quite a strong taste, almost like vinegar or fish oil, which reminded me more of fish than chicken. The beef taco platter has also changed – it used to be steak with beautiful presentation, but now it feels more like a Chinese-style stir fry and is quite oily. I really enjoyed the food here before, so it was a bit disappointing this time.

I lkke this pub. Easy to book a table, no matter how many people. Food is always good and made to share. Great atmosphere, especially outside in Summer. Good selection of beers. This is my go to city pub when meeting up with a heapnof mates.

In search of a place to meet colleagues, it seemed ideal - good location, surroundings look terrific, food looked good, great bar selection. Well, that was the night before. Hard to get a table, couldn't reserve one, & the place was packed and louder than a footy game! Nachos were a winner, & plenty of them. The other food was on the spicy side (a big comment from me, the lover of spice!), which meant less enjoyable. Drinks were great, great variety. If you're looking for a loud place with mediocre food and a great selection of drinks, this is the place for you.

Disappointed. So many food options nearby and I chose the one with an inedible Brisket Burger. Chewy meat and left half. Chips and sauce were amazing but sides are not a meal. So very disappointing. Bit light on in the Whisky delivered as well. Once I’ve was removed 60% of the volume disappeared, tasted non alcoholic. Can’t recommend and hoped for better. Nice staff not supported by food.

Great find in the center of CBD or at least closer to all corporates. Well laid out with ample seating and quick friendly service. Their weekly specials are great we love the $1 Chicken Wing Wednesdays and $6 Taco Tuesdays… Happy Hours from 5pm onwards are a bonus.

So this restaurant like like a typical premium westernised Mexican restaurant. The staffs looks professional, one of them was so welcoming and friendly. He also told me that the tacos are $5 not $8 like in the menu, idk why. I ordered scallops, fish taco, birria taco, and pork belly taco. scallops was alright from the presentation, nicely seared, but one of them was slightly undercooked but it’s fine for me, I also love their purée. Birria taco was ok but a bit warm (maybe because it’s sitting there to wait for another tacos. This birria taco doesn’t have a dip sauce. Fish taco was also good, not too dry. And the last one the pork taco. This is my favourite, but the chunks were too big and it’s a bit hard to eat, I know cutting thinly is very difficult after roasting, maybe they can pre slice it before roast or deep fry like Chicharrón. Place also looks beautiful and classy, they also provide a clean toilet. Also the kitchen located at end of the hallway through the toilet, so it’s semi open kitchen, customers can see the kitchen and it was really clean as well

Beautiful little Mexican restaurant! Not traditional Mexican but beautiful modern menu! Prawn tostadas are super yummy and the burritos are tasty and huge!

Whilst the food is delicious, the service lets this restaurant down. My partner and I have dined here twice and received poor service on both occasions. First time, staff eating behind the bar took their time to take our order and had to ask for water twice. Second time, three employees standing behind the bar having a chat had to request for our order to be taken to be dismissed and then served a filthy glass. Will never return nor recommend which is a shame as the food is lovely.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Alma Restaurant and I must say, it was an absolutely incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the inviting atmosphere and the aromas wafting from the kitchen. The menu at Alma Restaurant is a food lover's dream come true. With a wide range of delectable options, it was difficult to choose just one dish. However, I highly recommend trying the grilled corn, short rib dish, honey halloumi and coconut margaritas - they were all simply divine. What truly set Alma Restaurant apart was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my dining experience was perfect. Their attention to detail and their genuine desire to make each guest feel special is out of this world. I am already counting down the days until I can return to Alma Restaurant and explore more of their menu. It truly is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered. Treat yourself to a visit and prepare to be amazed. Buen provecho!

The food at Alma is truly something special — every dish felt like it was made with love. The flavours were fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. You can tell the team takes pride in what they do. The margaritas? Absolutely sensational — some of the best we’ve had! And a big shoutout to Bonnie, the owner, who was so lovely to chat with. Her warmth and passion for the restaurant really added to the experience. Can’t wait to come back!

We went to this place with a group of 7 as a friend of mine recommended ALMA and it was absolutely fantastic! The variation of the dishes, the super helpful staff and the great drinks - it has been a great experience. The Avocado-Taco and the Ceviche were my absolute highlights! Would definitely recommend, also for veggies.

It was my first time at this Mexican Restaurant. It was for my wedding anniversary and I must say that I got very impressed with the quality and tasty food. It was beyond my expectations. We had a 5 course meal tasting and the dishes were so well presented and tasty that it completed change my mind about Mexican Food in a good way. All the flavours mixed in such way that made a perfect balance. You can't miss this amazing Alma Restaurant at Avalon Beach. I don't have enough words to describe it. And what about the staff??? Simply unsurpassed!! Really friendly staff. The atmosphere and decoration invites to enjoy this great experience. Very well located at the heart of Avalon Beach. Opens till late. I will definitely come back again soon.

A wonderful restaurant with delicious food, great atmosphere and fantastic staff. The new chicken birria tacos were delicious, please add beef birria tacos to the menu if you are taking suggestions! Corn ribs are delicious, as are the chorizo quesadillas. We came on Friday for early dinner and the place was nearly empty, all the dishes came within ten minutes of ordering and the lady who served us was very attentive. Enjoy $15 cocktails Fridays 4:30-6:30pm... we know we did! The Fairy Floss drink is very sweet and the Pineapple Margarita very tasty but the highlight was the fantastic Frozen Strawberry Margarita. It had such a smooth blended consistency and tasted phenomenal. We will definitely be back to enjoy more delicious food and try each margarita flavour! Thank you :)

I LOVED the food here!!! Our server was lovely, friendly and patient with us, even when we wanted to keep menus in case we needed more food.

Really underwhelming. I constantly felt like I could make better food at home as a novice cook, and for cheaper. We got five items 1) al pastor taco: The flavour of the pulled pork was done decently and the pineapple added a nice kick of sweetness and acidity. Pork could be more tender. 2) senor pollo taco: The chicken was dry and overcooked which ruined the dish. The flavours lean herby and fresh. 3) Mujer bonita taco: Just alright but a little too skinny in size for the price. 4) Birria tacos: Too mild overall in flavour, just alright. I feel the mozzarella had a noticeable flavour because the consomme and taco itself didn’t taste strongly spiced. Using chicken for a $28 (3pcs) taco is pretty stingy. 5) One of the alambre dishes for a main: Most disappointing. I make better stir fry dishes at home with generic supermarket taco seasoning. The meat was dry and not seasoned well. For nearly $30 it feels criminal. Please remove it from the menu.

I’m from the Hunter Valley. We were off to see Jeremy Piven and some friends asked for some recommendations on some dinner options. It was over 4 years since my last visit here and it left a last impression. We ventured here and it only got better. The wait staff were brilliant, greeted and provided options of where to sit that we were most comfortable. The drinks were delicious (I would have preferred an amaretto sour over the amaretto margarita - but it was a good suggested alternative) and the food was exactly what I and my friends were after. Check it out, I loved it!

Chicken and Chipotle Quesidia was so good. I also had the Patron Margerita which came in a fun Patron "Bottle". The service was fast the atmosphere fun!

It is one place that everyone should try... always fully booked... you must reserve otherwise you might end up waiting in line for an average of 30 minutes. The service is really good and welcoming. The vibe is definitely traditional and the drinks rock. I was a bit disappointed with the food as it simply missed that taste... the appetisers were good but the guacamole was not the best. The chicken fajita was dry and did not have many sauces, was super extra hit that we couldn't eat it. A nice experience with a very nice music

The biggest downfall of Calaveras was the outrageous wait time. The food was fine and I really enjoyed the atmosphere, it was very colourful and exciting, however with the prices and the wait time, I'd expect the food to be a bit more noteworthy. We had the birria tacos (5/10), the chicken quesadillas (6.5/10), and the chicken nachos (6/10). We also ordered the churros with chocolate sauce but it came with dulce de leche... Wouldn't come here again but it wasn't the worst place I've ever been

Concrete playground nailed it! Their pick for best Mexican in Sydney is spot on. l can confirm it's a must-visit! Their tacos are a flavour fiesta, and the endless margaritas menu is a dream come true. The menu's a work of art, showcasing the best of Aussie ingredients. The place was so intimate, cosy & romantic and the food was incredible. Every bite was perfection, but the tacos, wagyu, and chocolate dessert stole the show (that ganache-like texture, though!) Our dining experience was absolutely amazing, and we’re already planning our next visit to discover more of their amazing dishes! Hurry up and book We ordered ~ Spicy Reposado Tequila, Fortaleza Blanco, Grilled Jalapeno, Agave, Cointreau +lime Cadillac Fortaleza Anejo, Fortaleza Blanco, Grand Marnier, Lime, Agave + Margarita Bitters Chicken Wings Taco, drunken salsa, kohlrabi, nuts + stilton Morten Bay Bug, Cauliflower, Serrano ham + Sea Lettuce Slow cooked Freemantle Octopus Zarandeado, scallop, wood sorrel + squid ink Ricardo 300g Black Opal Wagyu +7 Rump Cap charros sauce + mushrooms Sides Pickled Tomato, pepitas + Bougainvillea salad Chocolate Chili Relleno dulce de leche, hazelnut crumb + guava

Had such a wonderful experience at Sonora! The service was phenomenal and so friendly. The margaritas were fantastic. The food was so tasty. My favorite was the beef tongue—so simple yet so well prepared and so flavorful. Sonora beautifully blends simplicity, flavor, and elevation!

Unreal bottomless brunch, so much good food. The drinks were flowing never had to ask for anything. The service was amazing. Will definitely be back. Perfect Saturday girls day out

We had a lovely time on Easter Sunday. I’m surprised they are open. The owner is very knowledgeable about drinks and very friendly. Very good service. I would like to see more meat entrees/ small dishes. I would come back. Good for a large group. Yummy cocktails. Proper well made margaritas . Thanks!

came in a few times, and every time it is just amazing. chef and staff are really good, and friendly. food and drinks are yum!! ❤️❤️❤️

bottomless tacos & drinks at this vibey venue in Potts Point! 🌮🩷🍹✨ Check out my food Instagram @erinxeats for more!

A Hidden Gem in Potts Point We had a truly wonderful experience at this restaurant. The owner is clearly passionate and deeply involved — you can feel it from the moment you walk in. He created the entire menu himself and took the time to guide us not only through the food but also the drinks. The sangria was particularly original and absolutely delicious — definitely not your average recipe. The dishes were small, but each one was refined, full of character, and offered unique flavour combinations. You can really tell that everything is made with care. We were excited to find kangaroo on the menu — it's not easy to come by, and it was perfectly cooked. A real highlight! But I personally really enjoyed the guacamole, once more it was definitely not an average receipe. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, which is quite rare for a Friday night in Potts Point — it made the evening even more enjoyable. It's the perfect spot for a date or a slightly fancy dinner with friends. All in all, I highly recommend this place. It's a true hidden gem — and one we’re very happy to have discovered!

Great place for upscale Mexican food and drinks. I have been here already for the third time and liked food and atmosphere a lot. Signature for me is the mole tasting option - with 4 very different kinds of mole. Drinks are great as well - good cocktails and an impressive Mescal selection. Finally, the creme brulee was to die for.

Most perfect dinner celvreating my birthday. The staff are super attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food is immaculate! Hats off to the chefs. Alex our waitress was very accomodating and friendly. Hands up one of my top 3 favourite Mexican cuisines!

Brilliant concept, design and execution. Mexican cuisine specific to a particular region is an awesome idea. Authentic, well curated and fantastic flavours. We also appreciate the complimentary dessert and liqueur. Staff shared that on weekends they sometimes have bands playing on the makeshift stage. Great atmosphere.

Had dinner there on a Monday and the food was delicious. Definitely not your typical mexican? They had food on the menu i never tested before and didn't even know what it was. The place was busy but not too noisy. The decor is beautiful and the atmosphere is pretty romantic. Everything was flavourful and well presented it was a real nice change to discover new recipes. The service from Quentin was perfect, attentive, classy and very friendly without being too much or pushy. We will definitely be back to try different things.

We had an amazing evening at Santa Catarina. The food was absolutely delicious, blending the best of Mexican and Spanish flavors. The service was warm and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great night out!

Great flavours~ The cauliflower and kingfish ceviches are a must-try. The fish taco could use a bit more citrus — grapefruit zest or yuzu would lift it nicely. The prawns would be even better needed a rich lobster-miso butter to boost the flavour. With the spices in the dishes, personal recommend offering a sparkling rosé option — it would pair beautifully and be really easy for diners to enjoy. I requested a Laurent-Perrier Cuvee Rose Brut. Which they help get it organised. Thank you very much.

This restaurant has a real cosy and relaxed yet special vibe to it. Apart from waiting for a short time for the maître de when we arrived, the service was absolutely impeccable. The food was really tasty with the pork belly tacos and yellow fin tuna tostada being the standout dishes. The crab empanadas were not as expected and quite strong and salty in flavour. Overall it was an excellent dining experience and we would return.

Absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with vibrant decor that set the perfect mood. The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu and cater to dietary restrictions . The food was nothing short of incredible. Every dish was packed with authentic flavors, from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the rich and flavorful empanadas. The guacamole was fresh and delicious, and the margaritas were some of the best we've ever had! (The baller marg is my fav) If you're looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience with amazing food, great service, and a lively ambiance, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

A brilliant bottomless brunch with stunning food and fun friendly service. I was taken to St Alma for my birthday and loved every minute. The bottomless brunch starts off with guacamole salsa macha with tostadas which was delicious. It was followed by salmon crudo which was yummy. We chose the agave beef short rib with grilled cos, pickled carrots and tortillas which was an outstanding dish - beautifully cooked and great flavour - I would come back for this dish alone - stunning. And the polenta parmesan fries with chipotle aioli were the perfect accompaniment. Margaritas are fabulous! And a range of flavours. And the dulce de leche and rum flan was delicious and the best way to end a wonderful lunch!

Love the food and mock tail sensible margarita was very best. There were flies around and disturbing to eat the foods. Also, found a larva on mock-tail when they tried to serve with flower but they gave me another drink which is nice.

We arrived just as the restaurant was opening for a lunch booking. We were seated at our table for two. A huge drawback of this restaurant would be the fact that the noise coming from the kitchen is heard inside the restaurant (if you arrive for a lunch at 12pm). So for the first 15 to 20 minutes we were there. I could hear cutlery being put away (banging and clanging) , food being blended (loud grinding), and just the general noise of a kitchen. Really offputting when you’re trying to enjoy a drink and relax. I would’ve requested to be moved to another table, however the tables for two people were just in that one section next to the kitchen. As the time went on the noise from the kitchen drowned into the background noise of the restaurant I would suggest putting some 2pax tables in another spot so that people who are sensitive to noise can enjoy their time, or perhaps have staff arrive a little bit earlier so that all of the loud cutlery and preparatory blending of sauces etc can be done before customers arrive at 12. However, from there everything was absolutely amazing. Service was really friendly and fast. All of the food was absolutely amazing. The only dish that left a little to be desired was the pork tacos. I wish that there was a better serving of pork as it felt a bit empty. Cocktails were amazing 🤩 I would definitely come here again.

We wanted to like it… Unfortunately it just wasn’t a great experience. The waiter promised us things that were never delivered (a lamp for reading the menus 15min late, a water refill we never got), our tacos took 40min after the starter course to arrive (nearly an hour after they were ordered) and then the mains another 10min later, and the music kept ending and being restarted after five minutes. The drinks also took a really long time, arrived midway through starters. There were five tables, two waitstaff, three in the kitchen, and a bartender for five tables, so it really should have been quicker. We got no update on the delays, I think they were avoiding our table because of that, and we had a diabetic with us. One of the waitstaff was doing her best but was clearly inexperienced, and the other was chatting with the kitchen most of the night. The mains were overcooked and dry, which was a shame because the flavour was good. The portions was also small for how they were priced. We would have liked dessert but we didn’t have confidence it would come out any faster. Overall they missed the mark on everything for us and we won’t visit again. Given all the other positive reviews I really hope it was just an off night for them.

Great food! Full of flavours, presentation, casual and comfortable., good cocktails.

We absolutely love this restaurant. The food is so fresh and creative. The atmosphere is friendly and happy - the waitress said it's easy when the chef is always smiling. We spoke to Mauricio in a quiet moment before the crowd came in and he is so passionate about his food. I wish I could have the crudo and the beef rib every night! We have recommended it to many people who have all raved about it as well. Such a special place.

Online booking system didn’t work for me but luckily they found us a table because the food was incredible. We spent $190 for 5 people for lunch and every dish was excellent! Lot of vegan and vegetarian options, meat tacos very full and filling!

The food was great but the service was not. The waitress forgot to take one of the order (we were just 3) her excuse was that we were all chatting ar the same time and that she forgot (we had to ask after more than 40min where the food was) and she barely apologised. Then we saw a rat in the restaurant and afterwards instead of telling us that everyone had left and asking us to leave (we were in a corner so couldn’t see anyone else) they just put very loud music so we couldn’t hear each other speak. Very bad experience honestly. We won’t be back.

Had the best dinner last night! The birria taco is crazy delicious and comes with the birria broth on the side which gave me goosebumps bc it tastes just like back home 💕 (Mex). Margs are on point! Spicy ones are top tier! (Strawberry picante my favvvv) Not to forget the service of the staff super accommodating and the manager Sofia always checking on us, felt very spoiled🥰 definitely coming back!!

Food and drinks were great! Service could have been better. We were seated by the door, it was pretty cold and unfortunately they had no other available seats to move us to. Would still recommend going for the food the tacos had good flavour and lots of options on the menus.

Our group came to this beautiful establishment for the Bottomless Brunch service. The staff were all very attentive and the flow of drinks was amazing. This establishment also adhered to our needs by making sure our dietary requirements were followed. Laura was amazing with the drinks, must try her speciality (pina colada). Manny or Manuel was so far one of the best waiters I have come across, he was kind, charming and great to have a laugh with. If you are looking for Bottomless Brunch service this is the place to go!!! Thank you very much La Farmacia !!!

Food was average, no water served in an hour, my michelada was watery and the spicy margarita undrinkable. When I asked to change it, the manager refused which is fine, but her rude attitude made everything worse. The low point came when I mentioned to the bartender that I was more disappointed with the service than with the drink itself. The manager argued with me directly, telling me she “could not put up with my expectations” and even claimed that “not even a 5-star restaurant would change it.” She also said it was “my problem if I didn’t like it” — extremely rude and unprofessional. What was supposed to be a relaxed, enjoyable after-work evening turned into a frustrating experience. We left without dessert because of the poor service and disrespectful behavior. Staff in general were fine apart from the manager. I have worked in hospitality myself, including at a Mexican restaurant, and I know how important it is to treat guests with care and I have never said anything similar to any customer. A simple gesture of kindness or acknowledgment can make all the difference. She preferred to lose a customer rather than handle the situation with basic hospitality. First and last time. Definitely not recommended !!!

The queso fundido is a hit as a starter and is perfect for sharing, the birria taco is an 4/5, I feel it lacks flavour, the cochinita taco and chicken taco are 3/5, they lack a lot of flavour for a good experience. The blueberry & mint cocktail and the spicy strawberry cocktail 5/5 are a hit as well. The tropical pina very simple 3/5 nothing to highlight. The service was excellent and the place is very cosy and pleasant.

I celebrated my birthday yesterday at El Primo Sánchez, a Mexican spot in Sydney, and it was such a great experience! We had a booking so we didn’t have to wait at all, and the staff was super friendly and attentive, service was amazing. The drinks were delicious, especially the Paloma! It has a mandarin slice on top that gives it a really nice touch. We also went into the karaoke room, which was so much fun! I love the new venue; Jorge and the whole team were incredibly nice and made sure we had a great time. And of course, we ended the night playing toques, a classic in Mexico 😂 Highly recommend this place for both the vibe and the experience. Oh, and I had the lamb taco, so tasty! 🌮✨

Amazing food and cocktails.. Great service. The staff is lovely and friendly. Highly recommend

Such a nice vibe! Staff are very attentive and constantly refilling drinks and food! Erik and Chiara were the best!

What an incredible experience at El Primo Sanchez! 🔥 The vibe, the energy, and especially the Negronis wow, they were absolutely delicious, perfectly balanced and full of flavor. 🍸 But what really made the night special was the staff every single person was warm, fun, and genuinely made us feel at home. You can tell they love what they do, and that energy is contagious. Can’t wait to come back for more great drinks, good music, and that unforgettable hospitality.

Just visited El Primo Sanchez for their opening and was seriously impressed. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly — you can tell the staff really care about creating a good experience. Tried a few things on the menu but the margarita stole the show — easily the best I’ve had in Sydney. Perfectly balanced, super fresh, and dangerously easy to drink. The vibe is fun and laid-back with a cool energy that’s hard to find. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu. Highly recommend checking it out!

All the classics you’ve come to expect - great cocktails, delicious food, funky karaoke and fantastic service (shoutout Eric!) - in a bigger and better location. Congrats legends, can’t wait to be back again!

Atmosphere is good for a bar/club. Food is extremely poor especially for the price of it. The set menu is $55 and you have to share most of it with other people in your group. Everyone was starving at the end and the food was not good. Tacos were double wrapped with tortillas, with barely no filling. The only thing that was nice from the menu was the tuna ceviche. Drinks were ok but $26 for a margarita that would take 15 mins to come to the table. Music was good at the club part but would not recommend for food.

I’m so happy I found this place!! I’m a native Californian that grew up eating authentic Mexican food. I’ve also traveled to Mexico a couple times and absolutely love Mexican food. Having moved to Australia a few months ago, I had pretty much given up on Mexican food. 99% of the Mexican food here in Sydney is absolutely terrible and comparable to Taco Bell. But then I found Tacos Muchachos while searching google maps for a dinner spot. The first thing I noticed was how beautifully decorated this spot was! I felt like I was transported back to Mexico City and it was amazing. The staff were so friendly! I overheard a couple workers speaking in Spanish and I felt like I was back home. They also shared some chocolate with me, which was so kind. The tacos were delicious! And I really enjoyed the salsas. They even sell jarritos! I think this is the closest thing you’re gonna get to authentic Mexican food here in Sydney. It’s absolutely delicious.

Cute spot inside a hostel. We had the quesabirria and the costras which was a special on the board. The former is fried tacos stuffed with beer, served with a consomme on the side. The latter has a layer of lacy fried cheese with choice of protein on top; we had one with pork and another with beef. We liked the pork better as it was juicier. Friendly service and food arrived pretty quickly. Wouldn't mind revisiting to try the normal tacos.

The food was absolutely fantastic, this little Mexican street food restaurant was tucked away cozily in Redfern. We had the: Al Pastor Taco Quesebirria Taco Al Pastor Taco: ($7 per taco) 5/5 Extremely soft, slow cooked Pork. This was heavenly. The only issue is there is not more served. Quesebirria Taco: 8/5 (21.99 for 3) The best taco I’ve ever eaten. The taco is so crunchy, filled with juicy, soft, melting beef inside. It’s so flavourful with chilli like filling and Birria dipping sauce that’s so thick, juicy and spicy. I was in love. Amazing food, customer service and the decor is so beautiful. 10/10 recommend, however it can get a bit expensive.

Daniel Hansen and his team have moved their pop up Taqueria into a more permanent location in the boutique Hotel Hacienda in Redfern, just off Cleveland St. A lover of Mexican, he’s opened this place that sells the authentic style Mexican street food in a cool and up beat modern space. We love the ambience, with its Mexican tunes and bottom floor of the hotel transformed into a cool dining space with modern Mexican themed art and decor, bright rugs and leather couches. Of course, a couple of cacti too. Daniel tells us there’s plans to open a rooftop, which would be cool! On the menu, you’ll find their famous tacos, nachos, quesadillas and burritos, with beef, chicken or even cauliflower. Whilst the food is all brilliant, you must try their signature - the quesabirria tacos – a taco that has be fried in meat fat to produce a crispy outer casing, filled with tender slow cooked beef, cheese, onion and cilantro. You then dip this in the accompaniment- a spicy consommé. We also had tacos and opted for the chipotle marinated chicken, topped with their fresh taqueria guacamole. We chose the corn tortillas and really enjoyed these. They do a weekly specialty of our favourite meat, the al pastor (spit-grilled pork shoulder) tacos but due to the weather, it wasn’t on this week, so we must revisit for that too. We do think their tacos are the best we’ve had in Sydney. Drink wise, grab yourself a Jarrito soda, Mexican beer or spicy Margarita. It’s a great place to enjoy authentic Mexican street food in a fun atmosphere.

Possibly the best soft shell tacos in Syd. The food is tasty, but pretty expensive. But expect to spend $40pp for a decent feed. TIP, buy your drinks from the hostel vending machine in the dining area instead of from the restaurant to save a few bucks.

It's difficult to find good tacos in Sydney, but that has all since changed. Tucked inside the Hacienda Hotel is this lively open-space restaurant serving up crazy delicious authentic Mexican street food. I ventured out on a Tuesday night as they serve up $5 Tacos as part of their "Taco Tuesday" specials; walked in and was surprised to see a full house with no empty seats to spare. I ordered the Al Pastor taco; the pork was so tender and perfectly cooked, with the creamy guacamole and salsa. As it was a full house, wait time was considerably long - I didn't receive my order until an hour after I placed it. Begging the question, is it worth the wait? Yes! Yes, I believe my hunger after the hour or so wait did contribute to my overall satisfaction of my meal but also the corn tortillas hit different compared to the flour ones and not many places do it which separates Tacos Muchachos from the rest of the pack. Must try!

Took my teenage daughters to see the Flamenco show at Seymour Centre and found this place to be geographically desirable so thought we would try it out. OMG!!! It was awesome! I got the three tacos- It was perfect I felt like I was back in San Diego. Girls for the nachos and quesadilla loved it and they are harsh critics being you know teenagers always looking to fault food- they couldn’t. If only we had more room for some dessert. The gentleman at the register was super sweet made great conversation and helped us pick our food. You can tell he loves his job, I felt like we were guests in his home. We was quite attentive to everyone. The room was chill. It has a great vibe, simple and warm. Perfect spot for Mexican street food. We are definitely coming back. Thank you for everything! Especially the tequila ;)

Best tacos I’ve had in Australia. The tacos were well balanced, the tortilla felt fresh and the flavours were delicious. I really loved their tostada special of the day too - I hope they keep it around because I’m looking forward to having it again. The vibe there is also is great so it’s nice for both a casual meal or a fun meal with friends.

Girlfriend and I had dinner here last night and we tried one of every taco flavour. All delicious! The chef special of the Kingfish Tostada was definitely a highlight! Beef taco was a star too. Tastes like fresh ingredients and did not wait a long time, so the service was good in my opinion. Please more people go and support a small independent business like these guys! 👌

Hands down best tacos in Sydney! The cook is a trained Mexican chef who has worked in one of the best restaurants in Mexico before migrating to Australia. Such a quality hole-in-the-wall, super authentic, well priced and worth the short wait. I’m so glad I stumbled in after seeing how bustling it was. You must try this place!

I’ve eaten tacos in LA and Mexico so it’s understandably hard to get tacos in Sydney that compares. This establishment is probably the closest in Sydney, we had the pork, beef and chicken the meats were all very fatty and juicy wrapped in a classic corn tortilla!

Hands down one of the best spots for tacos in Sydney! The flavours are bold and fresh. The vibe is casual and fun, and the service is friendly and efficient. If you’re craving tasty, authentic tacos, this place won’t disappoint!

If you're in Potts Point looking for good cheap-eats, Tacos, Tacos, Tacos should be on your list. It has a cosy atmosphere and super friendly staff. Vegan diners will love the options (if you ask), and everyone can appreciate the fresh ingredients. For meat eaters the caramelisation on the pork is chef kiss 🤌🏼. The menu offers plenty of choices. Although there's no alcohol, the vibrant flavors and good music shines through. Offering great value for your money, they deliver authenticity and quality, making it a must-visit for a relaxed, flavourful meal. 🌮

Best tacos in Sydney. My favorite was the pork, super tender and juicy. Packed with flavor!!!

We had a flawless dining experience at Comedor last night. Kicking off with a refreshing lemon cocktail, the evening was full of laughs, chat and incredible food. We enjoyed everything, if anything, we found the steak kinda standard which isn’t a criticism because it was tender and cooked perfect but everything else was mind blowing

We went to Comedor for lunch and had a fantastic experience—the decor really sets a warm and stylish vibe. The service was solid, friendly, and attentive, and the food was prepared beautifully with fresh ingredients and great flavours. I'd love to come back for dinner and explore more of the menu. Definitely a spot worth visiting!

Comedor is a great addition to the mid market food scene in the inner west. They have a few things to work out service-wise though. Waiters were pleasant and knowledgeable about the food but failed to communicate things such as when last drinks were after lunch which meant, although I had ordered a drink and got it, the several other people at my table could not even order a beer or wine because the bar was closed for one hour or so until dinner. This struck me as odd... firstly, why not serve drinks until such a time as the table needs to be turned over, I'm aware that staff need a rest, bit there's always someone on to serve a simple (ie: not a cocktail) drink. The bare minimum is to let tables know that last drinks were being served, instead, we sat there whilst I gulped my drink and we left which was really awkward from a customer perspective. The food was mostly very good, the cacio E Pepe with sunflower seeds was exceptional and others were just ok but the price point was fair and selection was great, especially for vegetarians/vegans. It would be great to see a larger set/degustation menu too but the 3 dishes for $35 is great for two people who just want a taste of what the restaurant offered.

How exciting to find a fabulous new restaurant off the main drag,away from the hustle of King St. From the outside there is silence, you open the doors and hear happy conversations and the harmony of an extremely well run restaurant. The food is artfully presented and the flavours are amazing. Our waiter Kieren explained every dish with expertise & also helped with our wine selection to compliment the dishes we had chosen. There wasn't anything I could fault, all of the staff were lovely. Every dish was piping hot, and a perfect amount of time between each dish. You should definitely try this fabulous new restaurant, you won't be disappointed.

I love this new place in newton. Food is astonishing, showcasing the chef’s passion and creativity. Offering is authentic and classy, it has a touch of Mexican flavours mixed with some other cuisines. Wine list is very interesting, simple but with lots of different styles. I can wait to have another experience at this place. Totally worth it.

I’ve been excited to try Comedor for a while now…as I’m already obsessed with a few similar style locations in the inner west, I thought Comedor had it in the bag…especially after looking at their menu. Alas, it did not make 5 stars for me today. Summary: It’s a beautiful space. Skip the lamb. Have lots of the tostadas and make sure you enjoy the cocktails because they are yummy! And don’t book a late seating or you’ll feel the pressure. More detail: We had a late Sunday lunch with friends. It was a 3.30pm booking and I was a little concerned that it might be too late and we might be rushed out, but I was assured at the time of booking that it would be fine. Unfortunately it was not. The service was friendly, with a perceptible edge of “please hurry up so we can leave on time”. It was subtle, but enough for us to feel it through the speed of the shared plates and the multiple times we were followed up for things by multiple staff members. It was a pity, I wish we were made aware of this fact by staff upon booking. Take my advice, avoid a late booking. As for the menu. The salmon tostadas earned my 4 star rating on their own. If that was all we ate my food rating would be 5 stars. Go there for just these alone and you will NOT be disappointed. The potatoes can be skipped. The brussel sprouts can be skipped as well. Both felt like pub sides. The sauce on the prawn overpowered the prawn in my opinion and if you do order the prawn, be generous with the lime and skip the tortilla it is served on, it was dry and overpowered the delicate prawn. The tuna was well balanced and tasty. I regret ordering the lamb over the chicken. It felt a little overcooked and mushy and I found it lacking in balance and flavour. Although once we mixed in the coriander it sort of worked. Even if I dislike raw coriander. The desserts were amazing!! As were the cocktails! So just go for the tostadas, cocktails and desserts. With an early booking ;-) and you’ll have a great time. Also, this might be a Sydney issue and not a Comedor issue. But a $50 service fee for a 1.5 hour Sunday lunch felt excessive.

Really love this place that we have been going to for multiple times now. The atmosphere is really cosy and is perfect for a date night or for gathering with friends and family. They have a beautiful cocktail list and… of course, the food is excellent. Laura and Alejandro are both excellent chefs who are always smiling and we love to come back to see their positive vibes from the open kitchen. We also love Ruan very much that perfectly looks after our table everytime. We will be back again soon

Visited for my birthday and left quite disappointed. We were seated and asked for sparkling water, but no one came back for nearly 20 minutes. I tried to get someone’s attention, but nothing — meanwhile, a table that arrived after us was already being served. It was frustrating, especially on a special night and I was really needing some water and a glass of wine to start. After my partner spoke to the staff, a server came over, apologized, and took care of us. He was friendly, and once things got moving, the food and wine were actually really good! The scallops were delicious and they even added a small “happy birthday” message to my dessert, which I appreciated. Still, it didn’t sit right that we were rushed to pay while other guests were still eating despite being served late and it was not even the peak 7-9pm dining hour but a 8:30pm-10:30pm slot. For the price point, I expected much better service.

Service was absolutely excellent. Staff very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Food was very tasty and of the highest quality. The atmosphere was awesome. Couldn’t ask for a better view. The warmth from the winter sun on the terrace was beautiful. A wonderful lunch experience.

The restaurant definitely deserves credit for its stunning view. The main dishes were delicious, and the cocktails were excellent. However, the child course main dish the tomato pasta, was absolutely terrible. My child, who must have been really hungry, took one bite, gagged, and refused to eat any more. Out of curiosity, I tried a bite myself… and I immediately had to spit it out. It was literally just overcooked pasta noodles mixed with ketchup. For $52, the child course is a complete rip-off. Please, do not order it. You’re far better off ordering a proper main dish instead, it would be more economical and wouldn’t ruin your child’s appetite. I honestly can’t believe a chef would serve something like this and consider it suitable for their own children. When the waitress came to ask how the food was, I honestly told her that the pasta tasted like noodles mixed with ketchup and was basically garbage. She only responded with a smile. I couldn’t understand what that response meant, nor why she even asked the question in the first place if no real concern or follow-up was intended. In the end, I walked away feeling deeply regretful about what turned into a $330 dinner. Such a disappointment.

For front row view of the Sydney Harbour over delicious fancy dining, this is the right spot. It sits at the top floor of the Customs House in Circular Quay. We came here for dinner and really happy with everything we picked: Tuna Carpaccio, Gruyere Souffle, Beef Tenderloin, Roast Duck Breast. Extensive wine list offering decent selection of wine by the glass. Of course a visit wouldn’t be official without the mandatory photo in front of the glittering Opera House.

Dinner more on the expensive side. During a warm Summer's day a very good dining setting if you can get an outside table. Set above Custom's house you get to eat in front of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. With Sydney spoilt for choice. The menu seems a bit pedestrian. Been there twice for dinner and once for pre dinner drinks. The second time round the service felt a bit pretentious as wait staff tend to be too busy but felt duty to ask how things were but didn't care for the answer. Water was not offered till long after meal was ordered. And topping up had to be asked. Cocktails reasonably priced. Mocktail options good. Great location to take visitors from abroad. Good location for pre dinner drinks.

The food is always so tasty here. Service is superb. It has become a favourite of mine, the view as a massive bonus. Cocktails are ok, they don’t suit my tastebuds as much but definitely worth going for the experience.

When we first sat down at the restaurant, the service was wonderful. The waitress who looked after us was especially kind and attentive, which left a great first impression. Once the food started coming out, however, the experience became a little disappointing. The oysters were fresh and delicious, but the duck parfait had a slightly unpleasant aftertaste, and the bread served alongside tasted somewhat burnt. The burrata cheese dish also felt unbalanced — pairing it only with bitter witlof and radicchio leaves didn’t seem to complement the cheese well. The octopus was tender, but the bitterness was stronger than expected. Usually, grilled octopus has a lovely smoky flavor from the wood or charcoal, but in this case the bitterness was overwhelming. When the scallop dish was brought out, our table was still full from the previous course. The runner suggested that we each take the scallops directly from their tray, but we asked them instead to place the plates on the corner of the table. In the process, we had to hurriedly move the oysters off their plates and shuffle everything around to make room before we could eat, which disrupted the flow of the meal. Overall, the entrées were underwhelming, while the mains and sides were more enjoyable. Still, many dishes felt under-seasoned and lacking in balance, which was a shame. The view was beautiful and the service at the beginning was excellent, but the food itself did not quite meet expectations. Unfortunately, that makes me hesitant about returning.

Excellent service and incredible food! Absolutely nothing to complain about — everything was spotless, punctual, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. The highlight of the night? The corn… OMG, truly worth it! Margaritas were perfect, and the chicken tacos were simply outstanding. A special shout-out to Manager Marcos, who personally came to our table to check on us and ensure we had the best experience possible. His attention to detail and warm approach made the evening even better. We loved every moment and will definitely be back. Highly, highly recommended!

Fantastic Mexican flavours! 🇲🇽 Came on a Friday night with my family and experienced a wonderful atmosphere! Great decor and music and the food was top notch. I would travel to the city just to eat here again, very happy! Hidden gem! 💎🌮

The atmosphere brought me back to my travel to Guadalahara Mexico. I was looking for a light meal for lunch and highly recommend to try their lunch special for $16 and the red sangria. Such a good value for money located in one of the world's best harbour in The Rocks precinct.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great vibes, bold flavours, and fun atmosphere! I came here for lunch and absolutely loved it! The wings were the highlight perfectly cooked, super saucy, and full of flavour. We tried two types of sauces (spicy and bbq) with creamy dips that paired perfectly. The nachos were also crisp and fresh, served with tasty dips that hit the spot before the mains arrived. The staff were friendly, the music and decor gave a lively Mexican cantina feel, and the colorful table setting made everything feel extra festive. Definitely a great spot for casual catch-ups, sharing plates, and enjoying good vibes around The Rocks. Highly recommend trying their wings, some of the best I’ve had in Sydney! 🌮🔥🍗

WC (Toilets) Is such as mess! Liquid on the ground (which I don't know what it is) and Lights won't work on some of the toilet rooms. Food was great - but it took too long to arrive. Service › Great service ✓ They lead you to your table Atmosphere › Loud Environment

Just had our daughter’s 16th here with 26 of her friends. Our host Thais went the extra mile to help out and nothing was a problem. She was very friendly and helpful. Thanks for making it memorable

Food was okay. We bought Tacos, Burrito bowls and Nachos. They had free chips with salsa for everyone. The margaritas were nice. The prices are a little expensive. Service was great. I really liked the music too.

First time trying vegan dishes. I must say it’s pretty tasty and the way it’s presented it’s really nice. The Zucchini flowers was a delight, Crispy edamame coated eggplant flavourful but I personally think the pizza could have been better.

A delightful vegan restaurant with creative dishes! We got three different plates and a dessert. Each dish brought a new combo of flavors! I'm normally not a huge dessert person but they had one that was more on the savory side (pictured here) that I really enjoyed!!! The waitress was fantastic with recommendations when they were out of ingredients for one of the dishes we ordered. The only thing I regret is that we only got the opportunity to eat here once :) Will absolutely return if I find myself back in Sydney!

I have never sworn so much during a meal but I had no control over it because the food was so ducking incredible. My fella and I very quickly worked out that the banquet option on the menu is un-ducking-believably good value and opted for that. And duck me did it deliver! This photo was the first of many courses that were delivered and every single thing ranged from very good to abso-ducking-lutely incredible. The flavours and textures and variety of both were just a symphony of the senses. At one point we were presented with a dish full of cauliflower which is far from my favourite food but wouldn’t you ducking believe it, it was ducking incredible. Rich and spicy and light yet hearty. Extremely ducking impressive I tell you. And then, desert. Sweet holy ducking Jesus on the cross. This was all done with utterly flawless charm and impeccable grace by our delightful server (who deserves a raise Yulli’s fyi.). I didn’t catch her name unfortunately but she was dressed as a basketball player and may have had the words “Big Willy” attached to her back. (It was Halloween). In summary, if you haven’t already done so, ducking go!

Absolutely delicious food. I love vegan food so much, they were super creative and very delicious. Eve was our server, I recommend the company to please give her more service training- we got a $56 bottle of Prosecco which was delicious but i was very surprised when eve just placed it on the table without serving it. I asked her why she didn’t serve it and i dont think she understood me. I found that very rude. She didnt have a lot of tables but she wasnt very attentive. I had to get up out of my seat and ask yet again to have another napkin and knive as my meal was already on the table by then. My brother dropped a chopstick but after her lack of attention we gave up. She is very friendly but needs training. On another note the tables are super super uncomfortable especially for tall people. I implore the company to please reconsider changing to other tables as it was very uncomfortable.

The options on this menu sound very appealing, however left a little to be desired in execution. All the food was very sweet leaning, without discernible flavour differences between dishes. The broccolini was cooked really well, but the sauce needed more salt and acidity, to balance it out. The leek and ginger dumplings had a sweet sauce on top, which could have been forgone, and the wrapper to filling ratio was off, it would’ve benefited from thinner wrappers. The vietnamese pancake was nice, but was more like a faux peking duck as opposed to a banh xeo which we were expecting from the description, though that was our mistake. The walnut pappardelle was surprisingly our favourite of the dishes we ordered, as it was not sweet leaning and had a lovely cauliflower creamy sauce. Overall would not be my first choice to return, but if I did I would try other menu options.

Got the gluten-free buffet for $51 and thoroughly enjoyed it all. Really nice variety of dishes and flavors. Well worth the price in my opinion.

We had the V/GF banquet. Everything was tasty and flavorful. Staff are super friendly. Love the live performance at night.

We had early dinner and drinks on Saturday evening. Place has nice atmosphere and good cocktails. Staff is friendly and orders were served together. Food was alright and no dish did stand out for us on this occasion.

A fantastic place to visit! Gorgeous rooftop dining and nice interiors. We went for Taco Tuesday and ordered every single one, all of which were delicious! Our favourite was the pork belly with pineapple, cabbage & Jalapeños. Even better paired with their Margaritas & Happy hour!

I am not a fan of Maxican food, but SoCal has changed my mind. The vibe is good and the food is fantastic. Fish taco is my recommendation , I love the complexity texture of the crispy fried fish with fresh & flavorful salad on top. I can tell this is the best fish taco ever of my life. Guacamole , Tuna ceviche and beef taco were perfect. Chef Scotty did his job very well! All staff are friendly and professional.

Had my partners birthday bottomless brunch on Saturday afternoon. Staff were so friendly, top notch customer service. Quality food and plenty of it everyone was stuffed and it's not often you get such good quality plus quantity. Everyone loved the margarita package, as a beer drinker only thing is I would have loved a draft beer rather than cans included but such a small detail made no difference to a really great afternoon. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back!

The Good: SoCal Neutral Bay has some good things going for it. The food was delicious—full of flavour, generous portions, and great value. From the guac and chips to the tacos and a share-worthy enchilada that could’ve fed half of Sydney, it was a fiesta on a plate. The margaritas? Chef’s kiss. Staff were super accommodating, tucking us into a cozy corner despite being fully booked. The vibe, music, and décor made it feel like we’d stumbled into a sunny slice of Mexico. The Room for Improvement: Honestly, not much to gripe about. If I had to dig, maybe just that we didn’t get the rooftop spot—but that’s on us for not booking ahead. Lesson learned: book if you want the full Mexican rooftop glory. Otherwise, it’s a solid experience all round. Would I Return? Absolutely. SoCal is one of my favourite Mexican spots for a reason. I’d go back in a heartbeat—preferably with a bigger crew so I can justify ordering one of everything and not feel judged. The Verdict: In conclusion, SoCal Neutral Bay is a must if you love fresh, vibrant Mexican food with great vibes to match. Whether it’s a casual lunch or a rooftop margarita session, this place always hits the spot. Just don’t forget to book if you're aiming for that verandah sunshine and full Mexican vibes.

So Cal Neutral Bay offers an outstanding dining experience with its flavorful and well-crafted dishes. The ambiance is enhanced by a carefully curated music selection that complements the relaxed and inviting setting. A highlight is the airy rooftop bar, which provides a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. The service is attentive and friendly, ensuring a pleasant and memorable visit. Whether you're a local or just passing through, So Cal Neutral Bay is a must-visit for an exceptional meal and a great time in a welcoming environment.

Love this place so much! The vibe was very relaxing, all the interior design and decoration are adorable. The staffs were super friendly as well! We ordered fish, beef and chicken tacos. The fish one was our no.1! The beef one was a bit fatty. Also we added some pork on the nachos, we thought it would be pulled pork but it was pork belly! It was too fatty for us. But the nachos were still nice! Looked like a corn chip pizza, full of cheese! Really love this place, would definitely love to recommend to everyone! Excited to try more dishes next time :)

3.9/5* The Feed Punchers visited a very unique punch destination, Govindas restaurant and cinema. For $28, there is an all you can eat, vegetarian buffet, incorporating fresh ingredients with a strong Indian influence. At the start of the buffet line, there were options of white rice, brown rice, pots of soup and dahl. Next came salads, pasta and a variety of vegetable curries, which utilised predominantly; chickpeas, lentils, potato’s and tofu as the staple ingredient. The stand out favourite for the Feed Punchers was the crispy deep fried cauliflower pakoras, which were golden and perfectly crispy. They were well paired with the tzatziki mint like sauce and the chilli chutney. Overall, there was a great variety of fresh-vegetarian food in a buffet style. The perfect way to get a feed right before watching a movie. Thankyou Govindas!

Edit: best and only great veg food in sydney (out of most famous ones on happycow, went to about 15 places) Great tasting buffet. 28$ for dinner buffet. 5 or so good to great tasting well thought out mains, a curry, amazing and scrumptious fried cauliflower and potato fries of good quality, and the best salads! I saw the quality of the ingredients when I tasted the salad. The vinegar was of good quality and made the whole experience better! I've traveled around europe and ate many many vegan buffets, but this one is by far much much better quality of food, and tastes better because of better attention to flavor, ingredients, and customer experience. Most of the food was seasoned perfectly and felt balanced. It was a great foodie experience! By the way, I disliked all the vegan food I ate this week in sydney if I include quality and taste, but this restaurant is the hope for sydney quality vegan food for middle-class people! As they say in the land down under, top food! Will return on later trips. Great service from reception and kitchen staff! I am an extreme critic, and if I say it's good, it's probably good for most. I extremely recommend this to people who like all kinds of food, including salads. If you like fried, Indian, cooked veggies, salads, and carbs, you will love this place. Only one main with dairy. They make their food fresh, you can obviously feel it from the home quality food, it's really good! Thanks to the staff!! Not overpriced and price to ratio for desserts is surprisingly honest and good! Compared to shift eatery, food is much better price and of a higher quality experience! Great moody interior for dates and high quality feel. Top restaurant and staff!

Was always great but now that the food is kept hot it is even better. Tasty, fresh dishes. Then take your shoes off and lay on the cushions and watch a movie. Take a blanket as can be a bit chilly. Great date night. Great value.

Very casual with a good atmosphere. A vegetarian heaven. The food is homely and very tasty. Buffet style. Parking can be quite difficult. It is not suitable for people with mobility issues as there are two (2) flights of stairs which are quite challenging. Worth a visit.

Not a massive selection because the focus is on ensuring that the buffet is good quality and the food is fresh. Everything I had was delicious. Take small portions at a time and eat until elegantly satisfied. Will definitely be back.

Not great but not bad. Staff are constantly zipping around the tight dining area. Westernised take on the Indian dishes on offer with the rest of the buffet being a pasta bake which you'll need the cheese top layer when taking your serving to have any flavour. Dining areas could be better illuminated. Those seeking a menu which doesn't contain onion and garlic (religious reasons) and is pure vegetarian and somewhat vegan have this as a safe option.

The restaurant is completely vegetarian, The food is not good and there are very few curries to select, even though they themselves called it a buffet. No drinks included, or any desserts. Only a few selections of curries. At first, once I go to the buffet area, I am confused as to how this can be a proper buffet and I am searching for some other area, maybe they kept the rest of the food there hhh, nothing, so bad and the food is also not very good. Service is average. Then went to the film area, we can lay down and watch the movies, find nothing to complain, if you are with your partner, you can cuddle and have an intimate time.

Held our dirty flirty 30th birthday, hens and bucks night here. We had an amazing night. Food was delicious and plentiful. I got the snacks package and tacos for everyone. All the tacos were tasty. No one was left hungry! We also got the treasure chest cocktails which was just so much fun. Everyone loved mixing their drinks. The venue is so well themed. Staff were super friendly and helpful. 100% would recommend. My friends all loved dressing up and can't stop chatting about how much fun they had!

I love that they had a vegan option for everything on the menu! I would highly recommend their delicious cauliflower wings. Great atmosphere and service too :)

Had my 30th at The Hold over the weekend. Made a booking for 20 people and we all had a fab time! The staff were extremely friendly, accommodating and added to the party. The food was delicious and the live music was great. 10/10 would recommend. Great bunch of people down there and the vibes are immaculate 👌

Great spot in Manly! Matheus makes amazing cocktails and gives excellent service. He made up a special cocktail named Palm’s Booty.

Honestly the best non meat burgers...the blue cheese one is especially good. We always go here for the nice relaxed atmosphere. Its lovely to sit outside on market day and soak up the atmophere with their house lager. Very reasonably priced too.

Very cool interior, great cocktails, fantastic service. Everyone needs a duckie in their cocktail! The burgers and cauliflower wings were amazing. Also loved the zombie and coconut marg.

Visited from Canberra and had the best time, amazing tasting food that was fairly priced and arrived in great time. The bar staff (Jorja and Josh) were super friendly and very happy to make us feel welcomed and had a great time because of them. Loved the pirate vibes too 🏴‍☠️

Review for Guzman y Gomez - World Square, Sydney Guzman y Gomez at World Square is an okay spot if you're looking for a quick Mexican meal from a chain restaurant. It's a casual place, but during my visit, the dining area and especially the sauces bar were a bit messy and not very clean, which was disappointing. I tried the tacos — they had good flavor, but they were overloaded with coleslaw, which made them feel far from authentic Mexican tacos. If you’re expecting traditional street-style tacos, this might not fully hit the mark. That said, I won't deny that the flavors themselves were actually pretty good, and the portions were generous. Overall, it's fine for a fast, casual bite if you’re not too picky. Just be prepared for some inconsistencies in cleanliness and authenticity.

Had quick dinner in Sunday with some people. We ordered beef (minced) buritto and salads My burrito, i think they put to much rice. I prefer less rice. The area was not that clean.

I placed a late-night order online, well before closing time. I got the burrito bowls, which I’ve had before, but this time the portion size and quantity were noticeably smaller and I only got 3 nacho chips (actually so sad) —definitely below average and not worth the price. I understand that food might not be as warm when ordering online, which is fine, but the chips were actually cold—like straight-up frozen cold. I expect to reheat my food a little, but this felt like I should’ve just made fries myself. On a positive note, the flavor and spice level were still good. I know this might come of as a Karen, but sometimes you just want something convenient to end the day, and this really missed the mark.

They call this quesadilla the "Plus" but as you can see in the pic it's minus a whole lot of chicken. Bought this for dinner last night. The screen displaying which orders are being prepared is inaccurate. Also, it should say which orders are Ready for Pick up. Service here is very variable depending on which staff are on. Earlier this year, a staff member charged me extra when I ordered a burrito with coriander, red onion and pickled jalapenos. He said that if I want the staff to put it inside I have to pay $0.60 extra otherwise I gotta do it myself at the self service bar for no extra charge. The whole point of asking for the staff to add it is so the ingredients are INSIDE the burrito. I told him I've been ordering GYG for years and this has never been the policy. He disagreed and finally he begrudgingly said he'd"refund me this one time".

The service was so bad, the lady that was taking the order was so rude. This is the first time Im ordering, so I didnt know anything about the fillings, and she was like just keep repeating, “yea, what filling? Yeaa, but with what filling?” seriously?? She could have just pointed nicely to the board and let me know the options.. and then she was asking about the spicy level, and I told her I want “just a little bit” and she again ask me with annoying tone, “Spicy or Mild?” I think my answer is quite obvious😒.. Probably because she’s having her menopause??? But service is real sucks.. I got her name btw, it’s “Jessica” as you can see from the label in the picture I attached.

Worst service at the world square gyg, the lady taking orders had so much attitude that she should leave at home. Looking me and my friend up and down constantly and giving rude answers when trying to order, she proceeded to charge us the amount for a burrito with everything and brisket and a quesadilla plus that has everything but once we picked up our food it was un toasted with tomato sauce and cheese , no meat, no guacamole, only 1 quesadilla when you should get 2 and the burrito just beans. I took it back up and told her I didn’t pay for this and Im happy to pay for a new one with everything inside she rolled her eyes and charged me $3, opend up my quesadilla and started to put guacamole inside when I just asked for a new one. idk what’s so hard to understand???? I’m paying you twice and u still can’t do your job…we ended up leaving after I payed again. her name was Jessica Someone needs to fix her attitude problem or send her home because you’re not doing a good job sis pack it up.

I visited GYG 👎🏻with my friend and ordered Nacho Fries. We were given a number and asked to wait. After waiting for more than half an hour, we kept checking at the counter, but each time the staff gave us a different excuse – first they said the order was being prepared, then later they claimed it hadn’t gone through the system, and after that they said there was a mistake. Finally, they told us either to take a refund or wait again because the veggies weren’t even cut yet. It was very disappointing – especially since this was a dine-in order. We wasted a lot of time and still didn’t receive our food. Extremely poor service and no clear communication.👎🏻

I had an amazing experience at Mexican Burrito Cantina! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and generous portions. The burritos were perfectly wrapped, packed with flavor, and the guacamole was some of the best I’ve had. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it a great spot for both a casual meal and a fun night out. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. If you’re craving authentic Mexican food, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

I want to thank you infinitely for making my birthday an unforgettable night! The attention, the delicious FOOD🇲🇽KARAOKE🎤,BIRTHDAY CAKE🎂DRINKS 🥂..everything was perfect!🥳✨️ Thank you for making my dream of celebrating this way come true. The place, the atmosphere, and all the staff were incredible. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for every detail!🙌🥳

We had amazing catering from Betty & the team. They really took their time to talk through our requirements and even set up the food in our office. It looked and tasted delicious. Very flavourful and fresh ingredients. Highly recommend

We’ve walked past Mexican Burrito many times and always said we should go there one day. We finally went here for dinner, and we loved every aspect of it. The staff were so warm and welcoming, clearly a loving family business and the food was next level, Mexican flavours we’ve never experienced before. Definitely worth a try, skip the big name places and treat yourself here instead. We will be back regularly.

We some what forgot we were sitting in Surry Hills, Sydney while we were here. It is as authentic as you can get in Australia. Delicious food, and a lot of it. And the host was just wonderful and so helpful as we navigated a menu we were not familiar with. We will be back.

48 dollars for 6 tacos made of old pork, look at the picture. The tortillas get stuck in your teeth. I don’t know what happened, but used to get better experience in here.

This is the best authentic Mexican food in Sydney!! ENCHILADAS verdes is my favourite dish ever!!! I feel like I’m in Mexico every time I come to eat here 😊. It also has great customer service and very nice and friendly staff. The owners and chefs are Mexicans and all the ingredients are from Mexico too. They make their own totopos and are the best with wacamole. Churros were also great!! Also this place has a great environment and Mexican 🇲🇽 decoration that feels like home. Mariachi is there sometimes singing and it’s so much fun 🤩. I just came back and tried the choco-flan this time! It’s my new favourite dessert now 😍😍 I loved it!! Thank you guys. I’ve tried so many Mexican restaurants in Australia and never found something so authentic. I’ll be back soon!

One of our favourite restaurants in Sydney! Upmarket Mexican restaurant with flavours we had never tried before and this place seemed super popular too with the locals. Quinn was our server and she was fantastic. So warm, friendly and attentive - she took care of us very well on our visit 🤍 I loved the margarita tasting flight too but it would be even better if it was served cold as some of them were a bit lukewarm. Everything we ordered was so tasty but my fav was the melon sorbet which tasted like coconut ice cream!! Such a delicious dairy-free dessert 🍨 will definitely be back if we’re ever in Sydney! Thank you Quinn for such awesome service!!

Sublime dining on Lime St - a friend and I went last night for my birthday and couldn't have asked for a better experience! The service was superb, the food divine, and the drinks delicious! We had the $99 Tasting Menu and $32pp Flight Paddle and with every mouthful of each were both surprised and delighted at the flavours. We can't wait to go back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely loved this place! The food, vibes, and drinks were all top-notch. Santosh was incredibly friendly and helped us choose the best dishes and cocktails — everything he recommended was spot on. The whole experience made my birthday lunch even more special. Highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or even a casual catch-up — the menu has something for everyone!

The food, the staff, the venue 10/10 Brought my wife here this afternoon for her 26th birthday, we did the $99 bottomless lunch and it was fantastic. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, right there the minute your drink runs out for a refill, you never have to ask - your meal is the same, as one dish is finished off, the next one is replacing it already. The service was seamless and perfect. I would go back for the Mexican Shrimp Cocktail tostada alone! It is so fresh and perfect on a hot day. We also both really loved the chicken tacos. Atmosphere was great, lots of indoor and outdoor seating with decent aircon. We will definitely be back.. I need that Mexican Shrimp Cocktail Tostada....

*** Highlights: This place is BUZZING ! Generous portions, great place and atmosphere! Really nice decor, tables and interior are well put together *** What we liked: $129 signature banquet, delicious guacamole, crispy potatoes, meat well cooked & they have an astonishing 245 tequila menu! *** Recommended? The tacos were awesome, the seafood not so much, the sauce overpowered the scallop and oysters’ margarita, well you taste the margarita more than the oysters. Definitely recommended!

I had dinner with some friends in this lovely restaurant overlooking the waterfront at Darling Harbour (Kings Wharf). Service was exceptional with friendly, attentive & efficient staff taking care of us in a group of 4 dining, without being intrusive at any stage. Atmosphere was great with the location & decor/ambience of the restaurant. It was quite busy but this didn’t affect the standard of service. Food was very nice, in particular the beef tacos. Cocktails were very good too. It’s not cheap but you get what you pay for in terms of quality of food and the location. Definitely worth a visit.

Service and atmosphere was 5 stars Food 4 stars just felt a little flat & we expected more. We also felt it was a bit overpriced for what was delivered. Worth a try for sure. Cocktails were also not very strong, nice flavour but not strong.

We had good service but unfortunately food was average (but definitely still edible!). Being frank, it tasted like home cooked Mexican (in a bad way). Rice had big clumps and chicken was quite dry and wasn’t very hot. Spot itself was funky and good people watching at the bar.

This place has been around since 2012 for good reason .Loved the spicy Margarita .The Tacos and the Naked bowl ..oh and the guacamole. Yum .Service was personable and excellent .Thank you .

My go to local Bondi Mexican place, awesome for a weeknight dinner paired with a cold Tecate and the ambience inside is great especially out the back

It’s my second time here I really like the vibes for the people working here and the food tasty ! Large ñ burrito and baked bowl also was amazing !!

I recently celebrated my birthday at Rumba, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. They ensured that every detail was perfect, making the celebration truly special. We had a shared plate menu, each dish was wonderful. Everyone enjoyed the variety, the cocktails were all great! The organization and ambiance were top-notch, creating a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere. It's clear that Rumba takes pride in providing the best service. Adrian made everything so easy for me to organise. Thank you to everyone at Rumba for making my birthday unforgettable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to organise an event.

Good vibes, friendly service, the tacos and margarita (coconut) are such a treat after a long day in the sun. Only little downside is the outside seating is a little uncomfortable. Thanks guys!

Went for Valentines day and the atmosphere was great, but we waited ages for drinks to arrive, then the food went to the wrong table so we decided to grab it ourselves as the table was next to ours. The waitress forgot to bring us water and my partners drink. We then got charged full price when it was advertised as taco Tuesday so a discount should have been applied to the bill. The waitress then took forever to give us a refund. It was Valentines day so might have been busier than usual or they were understaffed but unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the other more positive reviews listed on here.

Best food ever! We had the set menu and it was incredible. I'm gluten free and the team knew to ask if I can share a fryer (I can't) and made little modifications to suit my sensitivity. The food was so delicious and was served at the ideal pace. Enough time for us to finish each course, have a little rest between dishes and then go again! We are definitely coming back!

I’ve been to this place a couple of times, and I still can’t believe it’s a vegan restaurant! The set menu takes you on an incredible flavor journey. You start with a delicious guacamole and chips, and from there, it’s a nonstop buzz of amazing tastes! For $39, you get six dishes, which I think is a great deal. Everything we tried was fantastic. We also enjoyed a bottle of Cabernet Malbec, which paired perfectly with the mildly spicy Mexican-inspired flavors. If you haven’t been here yet, I definitely recommend it—10 out of 10! Just make sure to book a reservation because it’s usually very busy. Also, note that they’re open for dinner only.

As a vegan of 9 years I can confidently say this is literally the greatest vegan food I’ve eaten. The service was amazing, the waiters were lovely and knowledgeable and the food was incredible. We had the set menu and churros for dessert. I’m not normally a mock meat lover but Vandal sold me! It was so cosy sitting in the warm outdoor patio area on a cooler evening. Wish I didn’t live in Melbourne because I would be here all the time! 10/10!

Wow. Just wow. A co-worker kept recommending Vandal, and to be honest, I wasn’t sure at first; a vegetarian/vegan restaurant? But she wouldn’t let it go, and one of my best mates has been vegetarian his whole life, so I figured… why not finally go somewhere truly accommodating for him? We booked in on a Tuesday and ended up getting the $39 set menu (amazing value, by the way), which also happened to be $4 Taco Tuesday, double win! We’re both pretty indecisive so the set menu made it easy, and every single dish seriously exceeded expectations. It’s wild how well Vandal recreates the meat-eating experience using 100% vegan and vegetarian ingredients. We were cracking up at the table because my mate kept asking, “Is this what tuna tastes like? Is this what duck tastes like? I need to give meat a go” and honestly… yes. It’s pretty spot on. The tuna dish, new birria, and duck taco were standout highlights. The corn wasn’t really for us, but everything else? Absolutely stellar. On top of the amazing food, the service was genuinely great, friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Vandal is definitely well-deserving of 5 stars. They know exactly what they’re doing, and I’ll definitely be back (even as a meat eater)!

incredible food here! been meaning to try vandal for a while now and so glad i finally did. the set menu is great value, and all of the dishes really complement each other. highlight was definitely the chicken taco - it was amazing! the atmosphere is ok, we went at lunch and it was quiet + we were seated outside which isnt as nice as indoors. service was very quick and the waitstaff were helpful. definitely recommend!

Went with my girlfriends, really a good vibes place. We had the smokin’ gun which was AMAZING and the set menu. Everything we had was delicious and were pleasantly surprised when we remembered everything is vegan!

Been on my radar for months, went there the other night and had the set menu. Really great variety of food, very unique. Highly recommended.

My partner and I are regulars at Tian Ci. The food is extremely tasty with huge portions, they are quick, very affordable and the customer service is always wonderful. We come here once a week! By the way - I'm far from vegan but I still adore the food here.

Ordered for delivery, and not only was it incredibly quick but it was piping hot and fresh when it arrived! The peking duck for the duck pancakes was so good, I had to triple check their website to make sure I hadn't accidentally ordered the real thing. The portion sizes are huge for the price you pay & it was so incredible to be able to try foods that I never tried before I became vegetarian, that I have always wanted to! Also it was such a joy to open my delivery bag and see that they had also given me a lovely large orange alongside my ordered food. Such a small thing but it was a really kind personal touch that made me smile! I will be recommending Tian Ci Vegan to anyone that visits/lives in Sydney & I will definitely be coming here again before the end of my trip!

It's not a flash looking place, but delicious. Huge range of vegan menu options, reasonably priced and friendly staff. I went for takeaway and had the deep fried mushrooms, which were crispy and super yum. Will be back!

Such an amazing find! All dishes are vegan and are very tasty. The portion sizes are plentiful and the staff are so friendly. I will definitely come back and try some other dishes. We got the peking "duck", san choy bow and the fried noodles. All great! I recommend making a booking as it gets quite busy. They also give you a few complimentary prawn crackers and some fruit and the end.

Amazing vegan restaurant, highly recommend. The staff are SO pleasant and welcoming, everything is clean and the mock meats are great. Loved the Mongolian lamb in particular (but got too excited to take a picture) The satay chicken skewers were also great!

I normally am not one to leave reviews, but I just had to for Tian Ci! This is my new favourite restaurant. Since becoming vego I had missed Chinese food so much until I found Tian Ci! The customer service is fantastic, the staff are so friendly. We have been twice now and had it delivered once as well. The lemon 'chicken' is my absolute favourite food, I highly recommend it. Everything we have tried has been delicious and we can't wait to come back and try more. Definitely some of the best mock meats I have tried.

We heard of this vegan restaurant from another friend and decided to do a takeaway for dinner... We ordered for dumplings, Abalone with sea cucumber and mushroom with veggies, deep fried Chinese mushrooms with soy sauce, lamb in Mongolian sauce and Singapore noodles.. very good quality-quantity-taste! the staff is so warm, welcoming and courteous even though we were the last order of the day! :)

best Mexican restaurant so far in Sydney. The handmade tortillas are amazing. Great level of complexity, details and quality of the moles and all the components of the dishes. Slightly on the salty side for some of the guacamoles but that could be personal preference. overall excellent!

Great place, just not your "traditional Mexican restaurant. This is actually what a real "modern Mexican restaurant with a twist" would look like in Mexico city. The food is very authentic but with a modern interpretation. Everything is done with care and attention to detail. Definitely recommend.

Food was absolutely delicious, I would go there again anytime. We ordered five dishes for 2 people, because the individual portions are quite small - just a heads up if you are wondering if one dish per person is enough - it’s not. Service was great, attentive, and overall our experience was excellent.

We walked in on a Thursday night and were lucky to find a table available. We ordered three different dishes to share, and each one brought something special to the table. The standout for me was the birria taco, topped with crispy pork belly—unexpected and absolutely delicious! Next, we tried the tamal, which was soft, flavorful, and very satisfying. We ended with the enmolada, and I’m still salivating thinking about it. Although they were out of the usual chicken filling, they improvised with another protein that worked incredibly well. If you love mole, or have been curious to try it, this is the place to go. Trust me, you’ll thank me later. And for drinks, I had the hibiscus mezcalina, and my friend had the tamarind one. The hibiscus was perfectly balanced 👌🏻 just the right amount of sweetness, alcohol, and no bitterness. The tamarind version had a spicy twist at the end, which was really interesting too. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the service was great. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place!

Cozy and intimate spot for weeknight casual dining! Food was delicious and flavourful. My favourite was the birria taco - really liked the texture of the freshly made tortillas. Even though the topping was saucy, it didn’t soak through. The enfrijolada and lamb rump was very enjoyable as well. Each dish has a distinct flavour and texture and we had a lot of fun dining here. Only point was the fried tortilla accompanying the fish and octopus was slightly too greasy for me, but other than that I will definitely considering coming back for more tacos!

Went here with my husband for our anniversary and had a fantastic dinner. The pork and birria tacos were a highlight, really great flavours. The pork tacos were the weekly special, the chicharon just added the perfect pops of flavour. We also ordered the market fish aguachile which was delicious, the only improvement is that the fried tortilla that came with it could be crisper. Forgot to take a photo of the potato side dish but that was also great. I also highly recommend their margs, the double double and Diablo margs were delicious. We’re definitely coming back!

This is hands down the most authentic Mexican food we’ve had in Sydney! My best friend and I travelled through Mexico (including Oaxaca) in 2018, and ever since then we’ve been on the hunt for food that brings us back to those memories. This lovely family-run restaurant from Oaxaca has absolutely nailed it! Every bite reminded us of being back there. We ordered the birria tacos, tacos of the week (lamb), the potatoes, and the beef steak. Everything was beautifully plated, perfectly seasoned with rich Mexican chilies and spices, and full of flavour. The standout for us was definitely the birria tacos, it was so good that we ordered a second plate! Warm, welcoming service paired with incredible authentic food makes this place a true gem. We’ll definitely be back again and again.

We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner at Checho’s, enjoying their set menu. The ambience was lively and vibrant, though the music was a bit too loud, giving a nightclub vibe that made conversation challenging at times. The food was fantastic! The Wagyu Scotch Fillet and the Kingfish Aguachile were the standout dishes of the evening. Both desserts were absolutely delicious, and the cocktails were also top-notch. The service was friendly and attentive, but it was clear the staff were under a lot of pressure. Some of our meals arrived incomplete, and tables seated after us were served earlier. That said, the team was quick to resolve any issues, which we appreciated. Overall, despite some minor hiccups, it was a great experience. We’re looking forward to returning to try their à la carte menu!

My husband brought me here for my birthday, the cocktails were immaculate. I enjoyed the flavours, nothing like I’ve had anywhere in Sydney. However, the tables were SO close together. It was like having dinner with strangers. Felt bazaar. The food was good, the fried chicken is a little dry so I would not recommend. But overall it was lovely I would recommend trying it out.

This place was great 👍🏼 the fit out was so beautiful and vibrant. Was so cute to bring the kids too and the food was delicious 🤤. I wouldn't order the calamari again but the rest was 👌🏼Definitely not a big menu but we tried most items and found the price of the dishes absolutely fine. We walked out with two adults and 2 hungry kids at $240 including churros to take away and eat home. We definitely have to pay more at a sushi train so we were pretty happy with this and the service was beautiful. The lady today was on point and always attentive - well done!

Oh, Chechos, what has happened to you? This used to be a favourite dining destination but we won’t be back after tonight. The quality is just not there. The oysters were delicious, but other dishes were not. Patatas bravas were soggy -tasted like microwave boiled potatoes. We returned them asking for crispy potatoes, the second batch was exactly the same but had the addition of hair in the food. Disgusting. The ribs- sauce was nice but the meat tasted microwaved. The food was not hot, just lukewarm, and came out too fast to have been cooked without a microwave. The tacos were gross. Brisket was so dry it tasted like jerky. Soft shell crab was undercooked, floury and a giant blob that made it impossible to eat in a taco. The 3.5% surcharge is a bit steep for an already pricey venue. Service was bad. We asked three times for table water and got some after others were seated and given water. Our drinks were nice but $24 for a cocktail served in a basic glass with no garnish is ridiculous. The music was so loud we had to shout to hear each other. Not really any apology about the bad food or receptiveness to any feedback. We were in and out in 35 minutes and $200 poorer. Worst birthday dinner ever. Save your money and go elsewhere. $200 can buy a lot of microwaveable food from Coles that doesn’t have hair in it. This place is a con. They are only interested in turning over seats as fast as they can.

We dined in for lunch and dinner and enjoyed a range of delicious dishes and drinks. The live music (acoustic set) was particularly memorable. Drink highlights include the Chechos Classic Margarita and mocktails (esp. Yram’s Spritz). Food favs are the tasty Spiced Corn Ribs, the zingy Kingfish Aguachile, the smoky Chicharron (crispy pork belly), the crispy Soft Shell Crab and Fish Tacos, the succulent Pulled Pork Carnitas Tacos, and the Sticky Slow Cooked Lamb Ribs. The waitstaff can be a bit hit and miss depending on the day / time of your visit. The evenings can get packed and slow, so recommend booking, choosing an early time, and ordering as soon as you arrive to avoid long waits. Great spot and will definitely return again.

Have been to Chechos three times now and can say with confidence the only detractor to the restaurant is its popularity! It can be busy and loud on a full Sunday brunch! The food options are full of flavour, and there's so many pickled onions and tonnes of Tajin that your tastebuds will want for nothing. The cocktail menu also shines as all the flavours are light, refreshing and when paired with some Tajin provides a great mix of sweet and sour flavours for your pallette. The venue is bright and colourful with a good thrum of house music blasting through the speakers and a loud happy ambiance that can only be created by diners enjoying their lives. Finally, the staff have been very polite and accommodating every time we've spoken to them, and always strove to ensure we enjoyed our experience there. If you're in Penrith and crave something different, come spend $43 on some Pulled Pork & Beef Brisket tacos paired with their Mango Caliente cocktail. You won't be disappointed.

We had a great experience at Checos! While the vegetarian options were a bit limited, the dishes we tried were absolutely delicious. The mushroom tacos were a standout, and the avocado salad was fresh and flavorful. Service was quick and efficient, and the mocktails were amazing—definitely worth trying! A must-visit spot if you're in Penrith!

I’ve never been to Mexico but this place seems authentic. The tacos were nice and flavourful, but we still added good amount of salsa to make them spicy. I’ve never had a tamal before yesterday so can’t really tell if it was not that great or just not too much to my liking. All in all I would come again to try more things like the chicken mole and enchiladas

Went with a couple of friends and really enjoyed it. The food felt authentic and we got to try a few new things. The pastor tacos were a highlight, and the chilaquiles were rich and delicous without being heavy. A pretty relaxed vibe, you can tell the team cares about what they serve. Can see this becoming a regular now :)

You couldn't get any more mexican than this. The flavours, the presentation, the place and the music. The menu is really extensive. A must-visit for deliciously authentic Mexican food.

One of the few places in Sydney you can get a good tamale. Tacos were good and really holdable, the corn tortillas were really soft and has a good corn taste. My first time having horchata as well, was refreshing and delicious. Not the cheapest but it really reflects the quality of the food.

It's the little hole in the wall places that are often the best. Have driven past for ages and recently finally had a chance to stop for dinner here. Fantastic authentic Mexican food. We'll definitely be back to try more off the menu! Highly recommend. We had a variety of tacos and nachos for our first visit and can't wait to try more!

Cute little Mexican deli and Tameleria with fresh and tasty tacos we had the nachos with shredded beef and the al pastor, chorizo and chicken tacos. Rich in flavour with good spicing and vibrant toppings. Highly recommended

We found about Tamaleria couple years back and straight away become out “to go” place for Mexican food. Everything is authentic and you find food and dishes that are not only made with genuine ingredients (such as Mexican corn with a distinct flavour of heirloom variety) but other things such as fresh made salsa verde with tomatillos that are not always available at other venues with Mexican cuisine. On top of great food and great service there is live music every Friday (make sure you book in advance as you may miss out). Last Friday was an amazing duo from Colombia (father and son) playing beautiful guitar songs. Love the place and highly recommended.
